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.

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 […]

A spider up close. I’m not that fond of spiders. Especially not when they grow big enough to spot hair on their legs. The local temple was riddled with webs from spiders like this one. The body was like a big thumb nail. Bigger spiders than I’ve ever seen in Denmark.
