Okay, maybe I don’t get out enough, but this looked like a pretty awesome fountain to me.

fountain

This was in a park/zoo/swimming pool area in Hong Kong.  I guess all fountains are pretty strange.  I can’t say I’ve ever seen one that looks like dead dandelions before, though.  You also get another view of the type of buildings they live in over there.

restaurant

One of the restaurants we went to in China was this nice, little Italian restaurant.  So, the most genuine Italian food I’ve eaten was in China.  The owner was even truly Italian.  He had (I think it was) his cousin ship ingredients fresh from Italy to him every week.  That picture up there is down from our personal eating room down to the courtyard.  That’s how most restaurants in China are built.  Almost none of them have a communal eating area, and some even have a large garden with a pond in the courtyard.
