China, Macau and Honga Konga

The Terracotta Army was awesome, to see an untouched echo down through more then 2000 years of history was hugely impressive. It also showed that even back then there were never enough portaloo's.



Past meets the future, if you look closely you can see where he was holding the midori shaker.


In China, Dragons are believed to fight evil and are considered lucky - unless of course one happens to land on your head.

Because China is a socialist country, everyone gets to be on Big Brother.

Early Retirees Gone Wild.
This is an unfiltered photo (natural light) of the drum tower in Xi'an. I'd make a joke about it but any drummers out there wouldn't get it anyway...
This was a tattoo Gwen had done, as good quality ink as you'll find anywhere in the world. Unfortunately the artist didn't speak a word of English, she had actually asked for "love" and "hate" to be tattooed on her knuckles but it somehow got lost in translation.
Macau was pretty dull if you didn't like gambling, they do lay claim to having the world's skinniest church though. That's what happens if all you eat is wafer.
...they also used to have a terrible problem with pigeons crapping on the high rollers.

Hong Kong at night, would you believe completely dark until the sensor light goes on.

Door bitch from hell, "Sorry buddy, not with those shoes".
In the futuristic, future-looking cities of the future, the only two things to survive nuclear war were cockroaches and bogans. Architects in Shanghai lurve the Jestsons.
