My "famous" Uncle Chuck, the one who was chased by a wild elephant in India, stopped in Beijing on his way to Mongolia to teach English. I got a surprise chance to hear news from home. It had been 16 and a half months since I had seen a member of my family. Thanks for the visit Uncle "Elephant Scars" Chuck I was trying to teach this fellow how to take a picture of me but he kept spinning around in circles looking at the viewer. Finally, I took a picture of him and we both had a good laugh. I think it might have been his first camera The hills around Yangshoa were strikingly beautiful I gave this farmer my shorts and was happy to see, on my return trip the next day, that he was wearing them Coming back into Yangshoa, overlooking the river An underwater buffalo notices his realistic, above ground reflection This woman in Chengdu was making flower bouquets out of 2-liter pop bottles. It was a great way to recycle them. I bought one and gave it to a little girl nearby
