Esto ultimo que dices de los 'fireworks' y el perro es increible. No me explico como no hay tanta gente herida y en hospitales de emergencia por la forma en que queman todo eso. Me gusto mucho la cosa de la fotografia y yo estaba preguntandome para que posaba la modelo pero me doy cuenta por tu comentario que solo era por diversion y nada mas - me gustaria ver las fotos de ella y todas las demas que has sacado. Como siempre, admiro tu forma de escribir tan clara y llena de humor y buena descripcion que da la sensacion de estar viendo todo ello. Sigue contandonos tus aventuras, algun dia estaran en un 'best seller'... EV AJ – Estoy un poco atrazado con tus aventuras porque he estado demasiado ocupado con trabajo y visitas de mis hijos.

It is directly the opposite of Japan where everyone cares about style and looking good. Here it seems as though no one cares at all (of course there are a few exceptions). The model was just there so that we could take pictures. The shoot wasn't for an ad or anything.

Like Rachel said, I am SURE you HAD to learn some of those phrases! Can't wait to see the pictures! Do they dress wierd like we see on TV? It seems the Chinese usually have a wierd fashion. Just wondering what the model was modeling for. Take care and talk soon! Keep having fun and learning the Chinese! Like Rachel said, I am SURE you HAD to learn some of those phrases!

Dad and Krista.....The fireworks were MUCH crazier than Vegas. Chinese new year makes Vegas look like a tiny little spark from a lighter that wont catch. It is not even comparable. The food is nothing like what we have in the states. They have many similar things, but it is all just different. Not even sure how I could convey the difference except by inviting you to come try it yourself. Sara......Leo is a friend of my. He owns a window tinting distribution firm, a coffee shop, a car maintenance shop, and several other companies here. He isn't a photographer, but his boss James is.

You make everything come to life. Who exactly is Leo and what kind of shop does he have? Is he a photographer? And the dog--did a cracker explode in his mouth? And he lived to bark again? What an adventure you're having. I'd love to see the pictures. Love your descriptions. You make everything come to life. Who exactly is Leo and what kind of shop does he have? Is he a photographer?

How did the fireworks compare to the Vegas ones on New Year's eve?? I'm sure it's a lot more fun lighting the off yourself. Tell us a bit about how the Chinese food there compares to the food we are used to here. It sure sounds like you're having a great time. Oh to be young and venturesome!!
