Tiananmen Gate

Our tour leader took us to Beijing but when we reached there, a Chinese tour guide took us around.

See..our tour guide was explaining to us about the Tainanmen Gate.
He was well-versed in Indonesia language.


We had a group photo taken.



The slogans on Tiananmen

"Long live the People's Republic of China" and

"Long live the unity of the people of the world"

are written in Simplified Chinese from left to right.

    It's both grand and horrific - grand in being the largest public square in the world, horrific for being the site of the brutal crackdown on protesters in 1989.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
