Patience. The newspaper readers. Everyday there are lines of people outside the building next to me, reading the news. The papers are in Chinese and English. It's a nice service. I join them occasionally, feeling very integrated.

The university hosted a Shaan Bei Mingzu Concert this evening. Mayors, heavies all sorts of people were there. I was lucky and had seats in the centre 3rd row - just in front of all of the dignitaries. But I was also the ONLY western face there - so will now appear in all sorts of videos and photos. It is really weird having full light video cameras and stuff smack in your face - what sort of expression are you supposed to show? Nic - I feel for you!! But ... the concert was fun and from it I scored my favourite photo i have taken all week.

I can't make out the faces. They are all silhouetted. You should use a better flash or get closer.
Sorry, couldn't resist. Nice pic.

snapped this little gem last weekend on a road trip with the family...my first thought was: "too bad he's not on a bike." second thought was: "too bad he didn't use duct tape."

Third thought... too bad there's not a few blokes taking a catnap and or catching a ride.

"Getcha' motor running, head out on the highway, lookin' for adventure, and whatever comes our way" I didn't know that there was a recast version of Easy Rider with all Chinese actors. Of course, looking at our new pic, I don't really hear Easy Rider's"Born to Be Wild" as much as I hear "If you Want to Be a Bird" but do have faces that show "The Weight." All you pickers will appreciate the linkto this wonderful classic: theband.hiof.no/lyrics/the_weight.htmlI take that back. On a last look, those two are definitely riding to "If you want to be a bird." Oh, and is "Smiley" wearing a belly bag or is that the ever fashionable camoflaged cod piece? Weird.

George The water was 'bloody' cold, but the air temperature was somewhere in the 70's, really quite amazing for Alaskan waters.
Dr. G.... amazing. Can't wait to live in this country!

Yeah, looks like either the water is frozen on the hills, or someone has dumped a crapload of icing sugar from the air. Either way, it appears that it isn't fit for human habitation.
Nice pic, though.

I've been laughing at that sign since it went up here. Can't think of better advertising for a translating service.
