At one of the bars in the Sheraton, overlooking the South China Sea.
An unedited picture of one of their many pools, with the annual Sanya Jazz Festival being set up in the background. That’s what the water really looks like, so I guess it really is “China’s Hawaii.”
In other news, there was a small disaster in Oakland, CA about 24 hours ago (dubbed the “MacArther Maze Meltdown”, god), where a gas tanker exploded and collapsed a freeway overpass. Then Arnold announced free transportation for the day.
Well, they have free transportation in China, too. This was taken on the Kun-An Expressway (the only freeway in Kunming) on the way back to Chuxiong, at 50 mph.

It has been slow lately, so I went back and found another shot I took a few months ago in the mountains of Yunnan of an old family friend.
I’m now studying the Photoshop RAW mode in black and white. Perhaps if I knew anything about photography I could intelligently manipulate B/W photos, but as it stands, I’m just sliding knobs. We have lots of photos of Sanya, Hainan coming up soon.
I’m testing this in Contribute to see how nice it works.
E Jia.

Busy working, getting ready for the return to the US, a trip to “the Hawaii of China” in Hainan (we’ll just wait and see about that), getting ready for our exit interview in Guangzhou, cleaning houses, cleaning crystal glass, practicing el violin, listening to bad pop Chinese music, listening to good jazz albums (did I mention Turtle Island’s “A Love Supreme? Wowzer), and other stuff.
I’ll post some pictures soon of China’s Hawaii and we’ll most likely revisit the Su family to see how that water buffalo is doing.
