This courtyard was filled with red ribbons and bronze locks. Couples come here and lock a ribbon to the chains, around the courtyard. The locks and ribbons say cheesy things like "eternal love".

The courtyard is surrounded by gardens of this flower, the same color as the ribbons.

Aside from the food, these are my favorites so far.

To have been able to produce such beautiful documentary AND artistic photos while touring in a foreign land, all while dating dozens of Asian girls at the same time is an authentic gift - and you have it my friend. :mrgreen: :up:

Stunning work. Really. :hero:

And here's a tip. Doors open very easily once you think to ask for the key. ;)
I am strong, because I've been weak.
I am fearless, because I've been afraid.
I am wise, because I've been foolish.

Your red flower is beautiful. A lobelia, I think. Hummingbirds love them. Did you see any, or do you know if they visit that part of the world?

I saw one wild squirrel in china. That was it. I think all the rest of the animals would get stir-fried if they where spotted.

China loves Apple and Apple products. So many companies here try to rip off everything Apple, from just slapping the logo onto their toasters to actually making windows laptops look identical to Macbooks.

Joni enjoys some milk. I avoided dairy in China, a place where counterfeit milk is commonplace.
