He looks like a living toy	Riding on this thing scared me silly

Shenzhen, China

There are hundreds (thousands?) of residential apartment buildings like this in Shenzhen.	And these. All of these building were constructed after 1980.
And these, which are of the low cost variety.	More low cost housing in Shenzhen.
With an amplifier in one hand, and 2 guitars in the other, I tripped over this 2 inch high bump in the floor beneath a doorway. Look down when you walk through a doorway in China. These are everywhere.	A toilet. Don't ask.
My view of the world during a rehearsal.	One of Shenzhen's many spectacular skyscrapers at night.

I was so delighted to see English that grammar just didn't matter.	The air pollution almost extinguished the morning sun.
Bamboo scaffolding is routinely used for construction projects.	A street scene in Shenzhen. Notice how slim everybody is.
