A Few More
one of many overpass networks. this is near a huge column that has dragon carvings all over it. according to rumors, it was done because the construction workers couldn’t drill through the ground for the foundation, so superstition called upon the power of the dragon. story doesn’t end there. supposedly it was to be kept a secret otherwise the power would disappear; legend says the guy who let the cat out of the bag died within a few days. or something like that.
randomly wandered into an underground boutique area where we found a booth with a few guys who had started their own line of guitars and had just opened shop.
dust dust everywhere. i really hope i don’t contract a respiratory disease. all the plants outside have a thick layer of dust on their leaves. ricky’s cousin said she can’t recall ever seeing a plant in shanghai without this kind of dusty layer.
passed by a table with bowls of turtles. this one’s furry! hehe
pepper, not really. hippo, definitely.
a glimpse at the expo. the building for china looks like a certain library.
unsettling name for an elementary school.
with a smile on his face 
hyper little bugger, but he can sit still for a long watching the bubbles pop after i finish washing the dishes.
i loveeeeeeeee the hippo.
OH MY GOODNESS!! hahahhaa. LOLz. jane, you are too funny!! funny pictures!! wow, a cat?? i MISS MINEE… =) mmm, thanks for your words to Daddy too for this time. i miss him a lot. i think he’s teaching us from beyond the grave many things… to live our lives fully, passionately, and righteously with no compromise. To be super-committed to the point of being labeled Extremist. To care solely about the opinion of God. To be an obedient son or daughter. And many more. Wish you could be here these coming weeks, but please feel free to share any more thoughts and things on his website if you havent. Mike has details if u need.
ricky hunched over the guitar photo: i thought that was some other guy but i remember that shirt. it doesn’t look like ricky because in the photo he has no neck.
furry turtle: love it, i wish my bro had a furry turtle, lol.
hahaha, that’s actually not ricky 
i wish i had a furry turtle too!
I want your cat.
