A new house in the community

We were surprised to find the neighbors decided to do some remodeling. One day we noticed some work was being done on a structure, then we noticed bricks being laid, and now the structures are waiting for a roof. While we were waiting to see what was going to appear, we noticed the windows and odors were removed from a building, then other ones appeared and then this structure was built in front. Sometimes we would love to speak the language so we could really know what was going on.

The Egg Concert Hall (National Centre for the Performing Arts)

What a beautiful place!
You need to know that Mike has now officially created his first blog page complete with collage!

Dahli and Stone Forest

Here are some people, places and sights of southwest China. It is a beautiful area. We saw people watering by hand. But then we saw people using modern equipment also. It is a fascinating area.

Guyling and Li River

The day was so misty we were afraid none of the pictures would turn out, but we were excited that the mountains do show in the pictures. It is a beautiful area!

Hong Kong

These are some pictures from Hong Kong. The one from the bus was taken on our way to or on our way back from Stanley, a neat town on the other side of the island. The first one was taken at the light show that they put on every night for about 15 minutes to a half hour. It was really spectacular.

Lantern Festival Night

This is a extremely small sample of what it like around our apartment on the night of Lantern Festival at the end of the Lunar New Year. The fireworks have been going on for about 2 hours. These were lit about 200 feet from our apartment. The skies are literally filled with fireworks, and we live on the first floor with buildings blocking our view. It is an exciting night.
