Scenes from the Neighborhood

2000 > China

You want photos? I’ll give you photos!

Now that is low, low, overhead costs
Nice and cheap!
Watch out, I am about to make
you sick, because I am about to tell you that I am so happy
these days in China that I am finding it hard to write about
anything amazing or extraordinary. This time around, I am
used to the China bullshit that I was shocked by the first
time. Also, after six months in "Asian Values"
land, I am used to the unquestioning rule following. Now, I
don’t follow any rules, mind you, but I’ve accepted my
neighbor’s inability to be deviants.

With massive writer’s block, I might as
well show you the joys of digital camera ownership. Going
with the fun of the Hong
Kong
photos, I recently shocked the neighborhood again,
this time by cycling around with my digital camera. A new
memory upgrade allows me to snap about 45 shots before I
burn through a set of four AA’s. Not all were worthy of
uploading, but below is a decent sample of the going’s-on in
a random Beijing ‘hood. Enjoy!
