Things I Don't See at Home

Shopkeeper washing steps with bowl of water
and handmade broom.

A car so close to my vehicle that I could reach out and touch the driver.

Elegantly dressed ladies sitting straight and tall as they ride their bike.

Large crowds of people quietly reading in
the book department at their local WalMart.

Babies strapped in the rear metal carrier,
on a fast moving bike, behind MaMa or BaBa.

Spittoons and their users

Chinese lady tourists climbing the
Great Wall in heels
(their balance and agility is impressive)

And at the top of the list during this trip:

Seeing so many bare bellies! Guys fold up their shirts as they sit or walk around town.
