Pictures - more than 500 of them.
On my system. From the China trip. Some of them are from a friend's archive. But man, renaming all of them - wow!
So instead of going in sequence, I'm just gonna put up the pictures that look nice. Saves a lot of trouble for me. Hurhurhur.
Some of the folks from Chek Lap Kok International Airport in Hong Kong. Taken on DEPARTURE. Heehee...
The guy in the middle is Eugene. Trying to act smart...
We're at Ocean Park in Hong Kong. Not a bad place, I'd say. Those shades you see there? They broke later during the say. Very sad about that... *sigh*
Ocean Park had a Japanese Garden. I'm taking a picture here with a fellow groupmate of mine. That bag you see there? Is an imitation (Rule #1: any imitation that looks like the real thing is always worth it. I got this one at a quarter of what the original might have cost. DON'T ASK ME FOR THE PRICE. I'LL TELL YOU TO JUMP IN THE LAKE FOR THAT!). That red jacket and sweater you see there? I got them while i was in Minnesota (Rule #2: just because you don't think you'll be wearing those winter clothes again does NOT mean you should invest in those that are cheap, low quality, thin. Especially when you're in those countries with really cold climate - it's always good to invest in GOOD WINTER WEAR. That way you don't suffer).
We're in Guangzhou on a ferry ride along the river (I forgot what it's called). Very COLD. But very refreshing. Despite the polluted air, I enjoyed a bit of solitude on board.
My groupmate and i again. I like her :D
My class has this habit of posing for the picture. It's just so funny. There are more shots, but I've exceeded the limit on Flickr. I don't know what this is supposed to mean. The guy (Elvis) was our photographer (since he's with SMUSAIC. And he takes VERY good shots). How he manages to juggle so many things at the same time is beyond me. But nice guy :D
Again with my groupmate! But we're in Zhuhai and we're very near that statue of the lady carrying the pearl over her head (think Zhuhai's version of the Singapore Merlion).
We were in Guzhen (the city of lights. Quite literally, too. They have the cheapest Swarovski Chandeliers I know). We're standing behind this dragon that I think is only a few hundred thousand renminbi (RMB). And that's my project group, by the way.
I just love this shot. FINALLY a decent picture of me!
See what I mean by habit of posing? This one was in Shunde. One of the gardens, can't remember the name.
This park has a mini-waterfall. I've got such tiny eyes here.... sigh.
I'm very proud of this picture because it means that I can use it as my desktop wallpaper! Haha! Also in the gardens at Shunde.
AAHHHH!!!! LOVE IT!!!
In Shenzhen. Any American must either be elated or sad about this. This is where your jobs have gone to. Haha.
Why does every tree on the roadside look like this?
The Hilton Hotel at Shenzhen. The one with the funny roof. No, we didn't stay there.
Shenzhen's Expo Hall. Still under construction, but I think it's going to be a great place!
Some places of China have these boards up. China is a very collectivistic society. I wonder if they have room for self-thought.
Real estate in Shenzhen. And the rest of the PRD. Saves the time and effort to read the papers.
the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Midea. That company is doing very well. One of the few MNCs in the area, and the only one we ever came across.
How much food we ate at Shunde during our own free time. And still more food came.
At Baolin Temple. I don't know what this is, but it's worthy to be another desktop wallpaper to me.
The stairway leading up to at least 3 temples at Baolin Temple. Long climb. In heels.
The entrance.
At the Guzhen Township People Government of Zhongshan City. Haha.
The building itself.
Remember I said that Guzhen is the City of Lights? That's their pride and joy over there. The King of Lights.
Yup, the King of Lights. Disappointed?
Remember the Swarovski Chandeliers I was telling you about? This is not one of them.
Guzhen really wasn't kidding when it said it was the City of Lights.
There was this amazing antique clock that caught my attention. Actually it wasn't the only one. There were more.
We were visiting Sun Yat Sen's old home at Zhongshan. I miss those sunglasses!
We found this pig in Sun Yat Sen's home. I don't know what's it doing there...
I have MORE pictures, trust me. I don't know if I have the capacity to upload any more of them, but oh well... enjoy what you see here!
