Miscellaneous China


Rick was born in the year of the tiger.  It could be worse.


I was born in the year of the chicken.  Thankfully, it isn’t the year of the rat.


The pollution masks were part of our daily apparel during the winter.



The previous teachers stretched rope between the trees at the apartment complex.  This is ideal for drying sheets.  Laundry is a very physical activity.  I am up and down the stairs several times that day.


This beautiful iron came with the apartment.  My goal is to remove the obvious wrinkles and call it good.


Banking is one of our biggest challenges.  These girls are marvelous.  They speak English and help the tellers with our transactions.  Everything takes time, so we are in the bank for a while and have become acquainted.   When we enter the bank they smile, wave, and approach us to help in any way they can.  Priceless!!


This is the beautiful dragon and floral entrance to “Splendid China”.


We are standing in the lovely gardens in “Splendid China” in February.


Chinese calligraphy is an amazing art.


Corn and peppers are drying in the shelter of the home.


“Splendid China” is decorated for the New Year.  Tony is our guide.


These older women are working near the Three Gorges Dam.


Near Daming Lake in Jinan.
