"侎囊呀?" (普通话：什么人? English: Who are these people?)
"新洲客!" (普通话：新加坡来的客人！English: Guests from Singapore! )


我的家族曾在岛上生活了上千年，怎么叫我们客人呀？
My family had lived on the island for about 1000 years, and now we are guests？

摄于珠峰大本营与拉萨中间的公路上 

去西藏之前已经读到资料告之旅者上公路前应该准备一些糖果或其他物品好送给路上的人。西藏西部的环境困难，拉萨与大本营之间的公路又是游客必经之路。一停下车就会有游牧民过来。老人带着孙子走到我们的车旁，我把几颗糖果递给他孙子。

Descending Stairs / 下楼啰！

Kaiping, Guangdong, China 

摄于开平碉楼，广东

是从深圳开车到开平去的，大概5个小时左右。一路上经过新雨后的翠绿田园，顿时觉得离开东莞越远，广东省的景色就越漂亮。开平建筑结合西方风格、也引用了当时最好的建筑技术。这楼梯如果不是钢筋混凝土，恐怕早塌了。

Teenagers

这两位青年摆足了驾驶让我拍照。眼里好似乎在说，我要闯。

Religious Debating

Tashi Lumpo Temple, Tibet  The temple is a huge compound, like a little city. We were walking around when we heard voices round a corner. It turned out to be a scripture debating session in the courtyard.

Roofs

House in JiuZaiGou, Sichuan. We managed to get accommodation inside the park. The photo shows the view outside the corridor leading to my room.

Here's a tip on getting accomodation inside the park. Anyone you ask outside the entry will say you cannot stay inside. When you get inside the park, ask any local (aka Tibetan looking person) and some may have ways to find you a bed. This worked in 2005.

Yalu Tsangpo River From Plane

Plane back to Chengdu, Above Tibet. I think the rainbow effect is cause by the refraction of light from the aircraft's window. Looks amazing though.
