Shenzhen, China Jan 29, 2015 I saw this bag of "Soviet Style Plum", and naturally I had to try it. Much like the Soviet Union, it was awful (and some of it got forced on a German).
Shenzhen, China Nov 21, 2014 Here's an advertisement I came across in the subway. The header reads "Ant Unit: Shenzhen Children's Army"; apparently it will "Open Up Field of Vision" and "Temper Willpower". Nothing unnerving here, move along...
Shenzhen, China Nov 21, 2014 This is my favourite collection of miniatures: a scale model of Manhattan, complete with the WTC towers, being watched over by Rio's Christ the Redeemer statue and within a stone's throw of Easter Island. I feel like there's a great punchline to be made here, but I'll let the absurdity speak for itself.
Shenzhen, China Nov 21, 2014 Our school took a field trip yesterday to Window of the World, where Chinese people go to have their picture taken in front of miniature versions of famous tourist sites. Here you can see me at Niagara Falls, where of course you can make out the Eiffel Tower if you just squint a little.
