Nice blog! :)
Speaking of people touching and getting too close to the pandas: There was a major news story here in Germany a few years ago, about a women who climbed the barricade, and crossed the section of water to hug a polar bear, in a zoo. She was almost killed before, the others spectators managed to drag her out, witout getting themselves mauled too by the bear, in the process. What is it with bears, that so many won't believe that you can only cuddle the teddy bears, but not the real bears. ;)

gah missed one!!
I can't BELIEVE I didn't include people squatting!! They squat everywhere!! Apparently the Chinese have evolved to find it a comfortable position so they'll just squat while they wait or while hanging around. They squat while they eat. Squatting all the time!!! I personally find squatting really uncomfortable but they love it!!

not poems
but from Great Learning (one of the Four Books). The Four Books and Five Classics (simplified Chinese: 四书五经; traditional Chinese: 四書五經; pinyin: Sìshū Wŭjīng) are the authoritative books of Confucianism in China written before 300 BC.

This blog was created in 2007 when I headed to Perth, Western Australia for a year-long study abroad program. There are still lots of great stories and pictures from that trip, though I got way behind on my blogging and the stories end abruptly in September, 2007 (I was in Aus until Christmas Eve!) Although I've traveled a lot since then, I left this blog in a state of neglect for several years. But I figured another school-related international adventure was a reason to get things started again! In August 2011, I packed up my car and made the drive from my hometown of Toronto to the sunny ... full info
