1. One man cutting another man's hair on a street corner in Beijing... where it was about 20 degrees, without the windchill.
2. Laundry and meat hanging from the balconies of apartment buildings.
3. A rush hour of bicycle riders in Chengdu. They actually have a fairly wide bicycle lane on both sides of the street. It makes pedestrian crossing tricky!
4. Bamboo crates of live ducklings (the fuzzy yellow ones!) being unloaded from the baggage area of our plane after we landed in Guangzhou.
5. People balancing two large baskets filled with all variety of things hanging from a long stick they carried across their shoulders down the city streets of Chengdu.
6. All kinds of food being cooked on little stands on the sidewalk.
7. Men pulling huge loads (like roof trusses on wheels) down the street with ropes over their shoulders and their bicycles strapped to the top.
8. Shoppers sorting through raw, unwrapped meat at the grocery store. When I asked our guide about this, she said they like to feel it to see if it's good.
9. Women escorting each other, arm in arm, down the street.
10. Buses of school children smiling and waving at us through the window.
11. People carrying all manner of things on the backs of their bicycles, including several other people! See these brooms?
