My sister and her family live in Shanghai, China. She works for a very large electronics manufacturer (the one based in the wonderful state mentioned in previous posts), and she occassionally sends us these "pictures" of life in China. Here's one she just sent - a wonderful reminder that we take so many things for granted in our very comfortable USA. ("Ash" is short for Ashley, my neice; Nick is my brother-in-law...)
Oh, got another scooter story.... This weekend (on the way home from buying Ash some reading glasses) we saw a guy pass us on a scooter much like Nick's. He had 3 crates on the back that had to be holding about 30 live ducks and on his little "floor board" (for lack of better term) he had 10 live ones corralled between his legs with nothing holding them in place. ~ 40 ducks on a scooter - I'm sure he was smelling nice! Unbelievable - they must have been on their way to slaughter. And we wonder why avian flu is spreading.....
