A picture of a sign we saw at a park in Guangzhou - too bad the right side got cut off. The park was pretty amazing - lots of statues made of silk and tinted glass bottles of different sizes and real china (cups and plates and the like), and everything lit up at night.

The view from on top of Xiao Sheng's residential building in ZhanJiang (a small city in the south of Guangdong Province, in the south of China).
Another view from the top of his building.
The last view from on top of my student's residential building.
A funky boat we saw from our ship to Hainan island. Our ship was quite picturesque as well - made of decaying iron and packed with Chinese people. Wish there were more pictures...
When we saw this smoking ship we were sure there was a fire, but we later realised it was simply pollution leaving the ship into the air....
Sanya, the city we stayed in in Hainan, is known for its seafood. Lots of fresh seafood was on display in front of restaurants.
Beautiful turtles...but I think they're set to be eaten...
For the last day of the New Year's celebrations (they last 15 days, I think), there's the "lantern festival" and we lit fireworks on the beach in Sanya.
We bought a ton of "sparklers" and the guys bought some "real" fireworks which they lit closer to the water and which were very impressive.
