Stumbled upon this shot while heading to the washroom, love the vibrant colors with the shapes created by the glasses.

The hardest part was how to avoid glare and reflections from the glasses.

Archaeologists discovered the tireless Moon Sand workers at a factory situated at Zhongshan, Guangdong (中山市, 廣東).

The numbers are estimated to be in the thousands and continue to multiply!

Flying out tomorrow to Toronto, Karen is getting married!

For the last 2 weeks, I had stayed primarily in Dongguan, China. We have been very busy with work so haven’t wandered too far away from the office, hotel, or the main restaurant district.

Incidentally, I realized I had written another post, “Life in China” in July of 2008, during my internship. Things have changed a lot in the city, there are construction cranes everywhere and the government have drastically reduced the number of motorcycles on the road. However, it is still so much fun to see the bikes, boats, and daily life in China!

Dinner time in the buggy!

Urban planning in China: why do they laid down the roads before the buildings?


Evenings in the square, family come out to chat, dance, and let their kids roam free.

How did you spend your Canada Day? Philip and I decided to join the China office in a day of team building activities.

We were assigned to team Wolf, incidentally there is a Wolf Wang on our team!

Team Teddy Bear.

Comrade Reading Zhang from Team Spaceship.

After we lined up according to the teams they turned all drill-sergeant on us….


Some of the activities involved crossing shaky bridges as a team and helping each other.

Crossing over a 40m long tight-rope. It got pretty shaky in the middle.

Team Teddy Bear showing off their team spirit.

Lunch time!

Water obstacle course.

WTF? Get a move on!

Slowed down and got wet at the last jump!

Triple FAIL. Falling into the water in a white dress.

Award ceremony.

Team Tornado won First place!

How many people can swing over and cram onto the platform. Best game ever.
