Construction Safety

At times it would seem as though China considered their manual laborers to be completely expendable, look at these pics below:

No safety gear as he cuts through steel cables with a circular saw:

No guard rails or roped off zones as they dig in to the street. I like the pedestrian with the umbrella the best. I'm pretty sure he is not a construction worker:

In Remembrance of Mufasa and Penelope

The roomie and I recently bought two adorable bunny rabbits from the bunny cart outside of Zhongshan Park. We brought them home, named them after two characters from prominent epic tales (The Odyssey and The Lion King), and a week later they passed away.

Warning to all prospective bunny purchasers, "Love them while they last." This was told to us by a very wise man.

Doing what they do best, snuggling...


and eating.

How cute!
