A few weeks ago, the locals erected this obelisk in the least visited part of Liuzhou's pedestrian street. It depicts various scenes from what is meant to be the city's history.
It's New Year's Eve. My neighbours are busy cleaning and preparing food. Or hanging up their red good luck door decorations. Either that or having showers. It is forbidden to wash tomorrow. You would be washing away your good luck.
I was looking through the website of a kitchen equipment company earlier today. I'm thinking of buying an oven. I chanced on this bizarre contraption, whatever it is.
At the weekend, I went off for a trip into the wilds of north Guangxi. It was a pretty boring business trip, but the worst thing was the freezing cold! Too cold to take any pictures! Can someone please invent a heated camera!
For no obvious reason, I have gathered together some of my pictures taken around Liuzhou and made a little slide show. You can watch here if you are so inclined.
At the weekend, my neighbour decided to install a new front door. This involved drilling into masonry and generally banging, shrieking and whining all day. So I went out.
