In Tianjin for anniversary weekend. Great weather for kites... |
|
|
Tianjin is a port city, so it has colorful history - this is at corner of the Italian concession... |
|
|
The Italian concession was wall-to-wall brides... |
|
|
Questionable fashion choice... |
|
|
Tianjin is still China - here is a climb-up convenience store... |
|
AK sets us up for dinner in backyard... |
|
We returned to Tianjin (at 330+ km/hr, train takes about 30 min) with Grant. Here we are at an old Soviet aircraft carrier turned into a theme park. Not sure why there's an ear of corn dockside... |
|
I'm sure most sailors stations on this huge things peeled spuds and mopped the floor most of the time, but the theme park makes Soviet ship duty look pretty good... |
|
Plenty to climb on... |
|
Good view of flight deck... |

US holidays (like Mem day) means G has school, while AK and I do not have work. Cool. The CDC folks went go-karting. Similar to US, except the carts burn gasoline instead of propane. And the french fries are better. It's still China though - how old do you have be to drive? No particular age requirement, but you must be 1.4m tall to drive if you're local (Chinese). Foreigners only have to be 1.3m tall. Go figure... |
