Tianjin museum



Finally back from some trips, this time to Tianjin and along the way the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall. I'm always fascinated by the museum aesthetic and the stillness it creates. The museum had everything from a huge stone sculpture of Zhou, to his limo, to his private airplane. I also got to take a photo standing next to him (a wax figure) which was really strange.

Train Cleaner - Tianjin


They found a way to make an everyday zamboni. This thing looks fast. A three wheeler too.

Big Cabbage


Ella wants witty but I'm not very good at that. This is a cabbage. I found it in Shanghai, and they sell smaller versions at a large dirty market in Beijing. I don't know why they like the cabbage and why they would spend so much time making a big cabbage. There was a security fence around it that got moved and then they laughed at me while I sat on the floor to take the photo. Ella was laughing at me trying to write this, now she's mad because I called her a cabbage.
