Here are a bunch of odds and ends that either didn't fit anywhere else or were just 'leftovers' that I didn't include on any other pages.


A celebration on the streets of Wanxian. From a distance, we thought these street dancers were kids or young women, but it turned out they were actually elderly women. I didn't find out what the celebration was all about.

Mei-O entering the Yueyang Tower grounds through the arched entranceway.

Us eating dinner on the cruise ship on the last night. It was the captain's farewell dinner, hence the champagne. Check out our dinner menus.

Dancers at a Yueyang tourist stop where we were taken to buy souvenirs. A lot of the cultural places we visited seemed to be designed to sell us something.

Out on the street in Yueyang.

Mei-O with our bus driver at the airport as we were leaving Shanghai. His nickname was 'Xiaolaoshu' ('Little Mouse'), and he was quite interesting and a lot of fun.

As we sat in the Gezhouba lock waiting to rise to meet the river on the other side of the dam, I noticed the many colors and textures of the lock wall.

The little kids in the Lesser Three Gorges didn't go to school because they made so much money off of the tourists who visited, mostly just by begging. Their parents preferred it that way.

It was a long climb from the city below to this spot, just outside the Stillwell Museum in hilly Chongqing where our tour group was while Mei-O and I took a walk. This elderly shopper wasn't having any difficulties making it.
