Dance, dance, dance.

Kabobs are a local passion, often cooked on the street.

Life at an Ag University

I studied at an Agricultural University. One day, some of my friends invited me to their lab building. They had mice.

And rabbits.

I even got to feed the rabbits.

Piercing Your Ears in Asia

I decided to get my ears pierced in Asia, but I was concerned about the equipment being sterile, so I had it done in my living room with a kit from the US. Here how we did it...

First, be sure to read the directions closely.

Then, put your hair up so it is not in the way.

Next, clean and sterilize the ear with alcohol.

Next, mark where to put the earrings with a marker. Preferably washable.

Place the earring thingy over the ear.

Carefully, line up the earring. Very carefully, there are no second tries.

Squeeze.

And admire your work.

Very nicely done.

Bearded Man

... and I thought Asians didn't have much facial hair.

Selling Fruit

Street-side fruit sales are big business.

Rest Stop

This is an example of a roadside rest stop.

And an example of how to use it. Sometimes it is good to be the person behind the camera and not in front of it.

Building walls

This post is all about building walls - literally....

Lots of little pieces all piled up.

The pieces are pretty much sorted by type.

But not exactly stacked neatly.

No changing room or bathroom necessary!

Not my idea of a quality bathroom. I am glad I didn't have to go.

Enjoying some down-time at work.

It is snack time in the park.

Kite Flying

Kite flying is a favorite pastime for many Asians.

Playing Cards

In between tourists, what is a camel driver to do. Why play cards, of course.

See Saw

Watch out! I think she is going to jump.

Water Calligraphy

A large paintbrush and a bucket of water is the perfect way to practice your calligraphy.

Napping Again

Too tired to work, just lay down and rest.

Wires

I am not sure why, but this huge bunch of a wires sat at the bottom window of my stairwell for several days.

Creative Car

This is one way to get around town.
