What is the history of marching band uniforms? Can I blame America for this madness? It’s wrong, so very wrong. I was never a band geek, maybe I don’t appreciate the ritualistic significance of marching band yifu.

Sweet little girl, I don’t know your name. Tai ke ai le, is the Chinese: Too cute. I wish

Perhaps they should look into best friend gift ideas.

Battle reenactment, Splendid China Theme Park, Shenzhen, PRC. October 17, 2006.

Splendid China is a great place to visit. The battle reenactment as well as the numerous cultural areas are something to see.

Shenzhen at night is probably a little like Las Vegas. I’ve never been to Vegas,
but have seen CSI a time or two. And movies about the mob. Maybe Shenzhen
is like Vegas, with the sin more hidden, waiting to be discovered.
