You never know what you will see...............

Just some more only in China moments!!!
Since I am in China:)

The first two shots of the pile of dirt in the road......This would be called illegal dumping in the US.
Our best guess on this is that a truck hauling the dirt broke down and the tow truck couldn't haul the entire load along with the truck so they just left it in the middle of the bicycle lane....Mike is willing to bet $20.00 it will still be there in six months when we move.  This is a main road around the corner from our compound, you can see the Cathay View compound on the left.  The bus is one of the small ones from Olivia's school.
Only in China!



Is this what they mean by fluorescent green?  One might call this a light-bulb bush, if light-bulbs grew on bushes!  I spied this last Sunday a few blocks from where we go to church and on a street where many Embassies are.  It is in front of the Alstom building.....a French company.  They must have had a bulb changing day.
Only in China!



It is strawberry season here.  People sell them everywhere.  On the street outside our compound there are several of them today, as there have been for the past few weeks.  The people just pull up their cars, vans or trucks and set out the berries.  There has even been one guy for the last two weeks selling celery....really!
Only in China



In case you are wondering it is a grey day here today.....but that is smog you are seeing down the road and across this field.  The AQI right now is 225, very unhealthy.  You can see the AQI as you read this....it is the colorful badge on the side of the posts.
Only in China!


Love, fondly, sincerely,
