Ah, Seoul

 Like my hat ? (the N Seoul Tower)

 it's cool to wear Converse on your head in Seoul !

 Christianity is popular in South Korea.

This means many shops are closed on Sunday and you can relax a little.

On the other side, devil worshipping and piercings are also not unusual ??

The North Korean border at Dandong

On the Great Wall at Hushan, also called Tiger Mountain

Toilets are very basic -Wouldn't want to visit them in summer !

A close up, but not too close, the pile on the right is full of sweetcorn, yuk !

A China log on my China Blog  ;-)

Beyond the border fence is North Korea

 Hey, no dabbling at the border !

 

 A bar in Dandong

 The Friendship Bridge or Yalu River Broken Bridge at Dandong.

It's only half built on the Chinese side.

 On the bridge we watched a local catching fish from his boat using river birds.

The birds are trained to catch the fish and the fisherman nets both and puts the bird back to work.

Just like the HSBC TV ad !

Sunset from the bridge.

Well worth a day's visit !!

Beiling Park in November

 Just as I drift away in the peace and tranquility of a late autumn afternoon...

I dive for cover and remember where I am !!!

Benxi Water Caves

 Strewth mate, put some pants on !

Jane hides her embarrassment as Paul wears his green jacket !

Shopping in Shanghai !

This as close as I get to 'going down the Villa' these days :-(

Prepare for the unexpected when you drive in China

This driver can't wait to empty his load ;-)

'I don't need my lights on I can see where I'm going !'

People in and around Tiananmen Square, Beijing

'What do you think of my topiary ?  Well I Like it !'

'Got one in Claret and blue ?' 

 Thought I'd captured a 'moment' here, but went past 10mins later and he hadn't moved !!

Another hard day at the office !
