Marking finished and ans a walk in attempt to blow away the cobwebs, learn how to walk againa fter sitting for nearly 2 weeks marking and to try to relieve the headache that had been niggling for a few days.
Cold, misty morning and Ligongdi at night is usually a thriving hub of bars and restaurants of all nationalities but like any good area that is known for its night life during the day time it is like a ghost town.
Start of the walk as I come out of the apartment block
This is where I am going
A restaurant
Scary giant babies in capes and red baby grows welcome in the new year
A land of bridges both in the old towns and the new
Interested place, never been there but I like the title
More bridges
Whatever happened to Steak and chips, or steak and a pint where did steak and a cigar come in
Same bridge different angle
Statues are everywhere a little like a sculpture trail
Bridge again
Giant crab......theres a worry
If only it was not closed down that is where I would spend my evenings
Amazing how lovely cabbages can look and at this time of year.
Why would the chinese put a sculpture of Don Quixote by their lake
Scary scarecrow people
and the band played on
Could we be in a remote hidden part of Wales
This was amusing
Where is captain hook?
The trousers, scarily huge, the Gateway to the Orient.
It is quite liberating when you have finished your marking, isn't it? I have finished my own marking now as well. It is marking specimen scripts now, but that is not too bad.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are amazing. As an outsider I find that the Chinese combine European features and Chinese features in a somewhat surprising way.
Enjoy your time with your visitors.
Love the photos....I thought the place would be overun with people but it looks quite deserted...what time of day did you go?
ReplyDeleteIt is a place that comes alive at night and during the day it is dead whislt everyone recovers, but it has restaurants, bars, tea houses from western and chinese asian countries.
