If you read my blogs with any regularity, you will know that I frequently encourage people to keep their eyes open if they are in China, because you never know what you might see.  Well, here are some examples of that from a trip I took in May.

This first picture is from a restaurant that had a structure built around some of their tables.  The theme was to have you feel like you were in a wicker basket.  The food was OK, but I wouldn’t brag about it!

The next picture has always made me chuckle a little to myself.  I completely understand the idea of helping the trees get the water and essentials needed, but I can’t get used to seeing a tree receiving an IV!

Another photo which was somewhat unique to me was the people dancing in the park.  This was taken in, by China’s standards, what would be considered a small city.  I have been to this city many times before, so I knew that on the main central square there will be dancing on Saturday night, but this was a small square during the week.  The people in the red uniforms on the left are on a dance team, and the other people on the right are local citizens coming out to dance.  I am so thankful I have seen so many aspects of this wonderful Chinese culture!

Walking away from the small park, I saw a lovely wall.  Someone with great skills took it upon themselves to paint the wall around their small neighborhood.
