Just a few photos of a rickshaw ride. A few China Yuen dollars gets you around for about an hour. We also were invited into a typical Chinese family home. The owner of the home was a Chinese fighting cricket breeder. Cricket fighting is illegal. So I think we were lucky to see and learn about it.

In the middle of 2005, Jenni and I decided a change was necessary. We decided to move overseas to teach. We both agreed that if we ever got to the end of our teaching careers and hadn't used our qualifications and experience to do some traveling, then we would regret it. We didn't want to end our careers with those regrets. So here we go. With our (then) 11 year old son, Thomas, we went to Sydney to attend a schools' fair and get a job.

Cricket fighting in China (as opposed to fighting on the cricket field in Australia) is a major gambling hobby. It is also very illegal. We were given the low down on this champion fighting cricket. You'll think I'm making this up (and maybe I am) but this cricket is worth 50 000 Chinese yuen dollars. That's more than a cow!!
