Sketches for my sweetheart...
Just borrowing from an unfinished title by Jeff Buckley. Yes, indeed, you have the gift when it comes to the gab... and very much so when it comes to the art. Inspirational stuff... and a beautiful series of blogs that would make a worthy collection for anyone to enjoy.

Thanks for the tutorial
This is really hilarious. We should get one of those signs for our powder room (Sit style toilet. Do not step on). Donna

Beer city of China
Thanks for the history lesson. I never knew about the German influence in China. Loved your photos! I have a renewed appreciation of Tsingtao Beer! Donna

Nice Beer Tour
Kelly and Liz, Have really been enjoying your China blogs. This bit of German China is amazing; never knew a thing about it. And here I thought the Chinese had come up with a decent beer. It was the Germans all along! We are just getting ready to start our 3 month cross country bike trip; will send you the link to our blog. Take care, and thanks for the China connection. Bill K.

I really enjoyed your China post! Sanya sounds really interesting. I spent the Lunar New Year in Korea two years ago and it was so amazing! Your post reminded me of that trip. My blog is looking for travel photos, etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels! Heather :)

Thanks!
Tomb Sweeping Day sounds like a remarkable holiday; remembering one's ancestors and caring for them. I'm glad the two of you were able to observe a 2,500 year old tradition. Thank you for the history lesson! I loved your photos!

Yuanyang
Hiya - did you think Yuanyang was worth going to then? Did you get to explore much of the county itself or did you just go to see the terraced fields? I'm wondering about going for my project (on music of ethnic groups in the south), but if it's too touristy and not easy to talk to locals I may give it a miss! Thanks!

Chinese minorities
Your blog is very interesting. In history, China's majority, Han people and the different minorities lived quite peacefully. If there were some conflicts between Han people and other people, that's because they belonged to different states/countries, not because of their ethnic groups, for examples, Tibetan kingdom and Tang dynasty. In general, it's the culture(Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Chinese language and characters) linking Han people together, not blood ties. And some minorities were eager to learn Han culture, especially the northern nomadic people when they entered China's heart land, for examples, Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms and (Manchu) Qing dynasty. Today, there are just a few Manchu people who can speak their native language. But after thousands of years, some minorities still keep their cultures even in China's heartland provinces, such as Hubei and Hunan. A lot of minorities live in Yunnan and Guangxi, and all the people live very peacefully. But if you saw the conflicts in recent years, Han people usually were the victims.

Have you seen the movie "The Painted Veil"? I think it takes place in Yuan Yang or near. Beautiful movie with Edward Norton and Naomi Watts - we enjoyed it and the scenery is absolutely awesome - like your photos.

Hi Kelly! Once again, your blog is so entertaining to read. I love hearing about your teaching experiences with the kids. Aren't they a mystery? I hope your parent's building project is going well! I've enjoyed hearing about the building standards (or lack thereof) in China. Have you or will you have a chance to go to Bejing? I've been reading about Steven Holl's new building there - "a vision of mixed use development that engages the city around it and operates sustainably". It's a cool overall concept, creates a courtyard and some nice looking interior environments. This is one of his I think I like. Well - take care! Let me know when you and Elizabeth come back to Bozeman! - Beth

nice insight
Kelly, nice observations on the architectural realm from urban and urbane (and based on questionable building practices) to the traditional. Sounds like the few traditional buildings still remaining will likely outlive almost everything being thrown up today. The building depicted in the "Rural Living" photo is very nicely proportioned, and the patina of time compliments it well.

Word up
Sup Kelly and Liz, thought of you two the other day as I finally had a spare second to gather my thoughts. Looks like you two are doing well and filling life to its fullest potential. It's daunting to look back on how much things have changed in the last year in my life and that of my friends and family. I'm in San Francisco now with an actual architecture job, Woo Woo. Just moved here a month ago and still getting settled in. Keep me updated and don't forget to come visit if you're in the area. Hope all is well and keep in touch. Best - Ian
