Let us not forget that the Chinese cities are an interesting contrast to the country life. The Chinese are known for their knock off's, but this one takes the Ice Cream.
Here we have the Harry Potter restuarant. A "Western Style" eatery that serves Haggen Daaz Ice Cream at the low price of just $22.50usd per pint! What a great deal, eh?







Here is a shot of the western dinner at Harry Potter, which was about $3.50 a plate. The red container in the center is Hunt's ketchup, the unofficial premier ketchup of China. On the bottom is a western style steak dinner, complete with a fried egg (not in view). It wasn't too bad, especially considering my Coffee (the first I've had in three weeks) was twice as much.






Take a picture with potter himself!!




















"Feed em to the pigs"
Oh yes, the pigs in a pen. We did not eat these pigs for dinner, but they were getting ripe, according to Julian.













One of my favorite pics thus far. This is overlooking their houses in the mountain side--the lush, green fields are rice fields.












This is one of the archaic tools I was speaking about in the long post from yesterday. This is what is used to seperate the grain from the greens, post flood. It is operated by a foot pedal which pulls the grain from the greens. I would like to see this one in action--I imagine it is quite comical.

B5Media Blog Network Launches
P.S. Just off to launch my own blog network, I'd happily give my bloggers 75% of the revenue and still have trouble sleeping at night thinking I was a cpaitalist pig exploiting the workers.
Checked out your blog it's great!

I have a online poker site
site/blog. It pretty much covers online poker site related stuff.
