pajamas

shanghai is cracking down on pajama-wearing in public.

but why, oh why?
doing what ya do...

pettin' what you pet...

just going to the store...

waiting for a cab....


i love when i see people riding bikes, scooters, motorcycles, and driving rickshaws wearing them.

and families!

couples show their pajama solidarity!

 
but most couldn't be happier. i mean, really... pajamas all day would make anyone happy!

hilarious, infuriating china

some chips/crisps

little kid was roaming free in the park and became enthralled by the wonder that is xander (and/or linda)

an awesome class presentation about the movie forest gump, that's him sitting on the bench

sterilized instruments in that tray at the hospital

the eye chart (no letters or characters because many people don't read pinyin -chinese transliterated with letters- and some characters look too similar)

a precious student paying attention in class (she didn't even know i took this picture)

free umbrella with purchase of a magazine - weird but completely understandable since ladies avoid sunlight like vampires around here

cucumber mousse for dessert, anyone? (too lazy to flip this pic)

how about some green tea starbucks drink with red beans all up in it?

my taxi driver had no windshield wipers.
don't worry though, he pulled over every half mile or so to wipe the windshield with a rag.

KTV or karaoke is fun and interesting

choose artists/songs based on album covers in case your chinese isn't up to scratch

snacks for sale at 7-11. chewy corn (not the official name), rice mixed with beans or meat or something steamed in bamboo leaves, wrapped, and tied (for dragonboat festival, why else?!)

a bakery full of light, fluffy sweets, including waffles cut into quarters... this makes me miss hungary's bakeries
