You guys must have some very creative and athletic theives if you have to put bars on the fourth story windows.

I've seen thieves in vietnam scale a 4 story sheer wall and remove a bolted-in aircon unit while the owners, a layer of concrete away slept, they're good. They did it for a second hand aircon unit. These kind of bars are more for threats from above and the sides than the ground however.

Yup, removing hair with a cotton thread.

Oh thank God. I was seriously thinking he was referring to a physical stitch in the skin, pulling the eyebrow up into an arch like a sort of homemade facelift.

Billy, what's the bronze statue in post #15? It looks like a teacher and student. A famous teacher?

In the first pic the grandmother makes up the eyebrow for her granddaughter as you see in the second pic. I can treat you to make up you if you reallly want to have the thin arc eyebrow.

Does your girlfriend know you're posting pictures of her on the internet, Billy?

I think somebody is playing a mean joke on kid #3 in the dragon dancing sculpture

That courtyard is beautiful, thank you very much for taking the time to post these pictures. I may never get to see China with my own eyes, so I really appreciate these. Keep 'em coming!

You have the chance. Welcome to China. At least your eyes can travel by viewing the pix.

That is very poetic, Billy!

The pictures you are taking are beautiful, and show us parts of China that even if we came to visit we might not see.

What do the signs on the old building say? What was the building used for?

The pix were sent by one my friend.
Ago ShanXi businessmen were rich and famous in China, even in East Asia. Some buinessmen had their banks. The pix were taken from Cao's house. He was a big businessman.

Great job, Billy.

We want to see it all.

Yeah,that is China,interesting and historied.
I'd like to say something about the bar on the window:
I lives on the 3rd floor(no bars on the window),1st&2nd floor have the bars on the window,thieves can get to the 3rd floor easily by climbing the bars on the windows on the 2nd floor,coz i had once done it to get the key to the door.
So,who set the bars,the man above will probably be unlucky.

We have different viewpoints from you about the Chinese things as you see the Western things. You can post what you think about the pictures.
The Water Lily were taken in one Beijing's park. We think the withe lily and green lotus leaves are the best in the gardens. Lotus is considered as the Man of Honour since the old dynasties.
