Very sugary dish – Can’t remember what it was exactly, but a bit too sweet for my taste.

A view to the street from C’s sister’s apartment.
The other day I drove C’s sister and her kid to the airport. As we were heading for the car, I noticed that they brought 2 bags + a plastic bag with clothes as hand luggage. Only 2 are allowed. As usually no one listened when I told this in advance. We were 10 minutes […]

One of C’s uncles throwing a coin into a mini pagoda placed inside a monestary’s yard. It’s supposed to give good luck the higher you land a coin. At least luck for the photographer.

C and her nephew in the back, and some odd sunscreen hat wearing lady in front. I really wanted a shot with hat lady, so had to fake taking a picture of C. Seemed to work.

C decided I looked kinda cute (or idiotic – one of those, you decide) first morning on a hotel in Beijing. Fortunately she didn’t know how to turn on the flash on my camera, so the quality is blurry.
A headline that just invites to smartass replies, right? Caught your attention though, didn’t it? We have C’s sister and her 8 year old boy living with us since mid December. They are going home in 14 days or so, and it has been great having them here overall. C’s sister is a great help […]

When we were in China, we lived at one of C’s sister’s flats. She is quite an artist, and I found this in one of the guest rooms. Yup – that me. Turns out C mailed a picture of me wearing a Mao cap on our 2007 trip to her sister. C’s sister says it’s […]

Random shot
One morning we decided to go to the local market in the morning. At the entrance we found Cs sister with a cageful of puppies. C told me that her sister wanted to sell the puppies. While C chatted with her sister, my presence created a vortex that pulled nosy people close. 10 minutes later this girl […]

From the local market. This guy made sure to get a good look of me from all angles. I decided I liked him too and shot him taking his last glare.

At the local market, a guy is stirring up some kind of Egg vegetable bread thingy. I looked so yummy I had to taste. 3 thumbs up from me.
C’s sister is visiting at the moment. Everything is going great except Mark is insisting on calling her ‘Mormor’ (grandmother) instead of ‘Moster’ (auntie).
