Poor China.
I feel kind of bad for my daddy at the moment. I talked to him on Saturday night, which was Sunday morning for him. He was just leaving the hotel to head off (all alone) to the zoo in Shanghai. He doesn't have a host to take him around and he's never been to Asia. So, I'm imagining that he's feeling a little out of his element. I'm sure he'll come back with an appreciation for China and a few good stories to share. And hopefully a present for La because that's all she cares about right now.
He sent me the zoo photos the other night. Normally, when people in the US go to the zoo they photograph the animals. Am I right?
Well, China's zoo animals must be pretty darn similar to ours, because Dave-in-China photographs the Chinese PEOPLE instead.
Oh, and signs ...
... and some more people, along with a couple of ostriches ...
... and some more signs (my favorite part of this photo is the lady's head poking into the shot in the lower left corner)
... and another sign ...
... and some more people. On ponies.
China looks pretty rad if you ask me. I wonder if my dad rode the pony after this lady and her kid got off.
Gosh, I hope so.

How sad! His mom has been worried about him, and now is angry that China did not provide a host to show him around!! He sent a short e-mail and said he had a good lunch at a TFIG -- I reacted in horror, but if he was on his own I retract my scolding.
Oh grams, you don't have to worry about your little boy. He will be just fine on his own.
And, I'm sure he'll sample plenty of authentic Chinese fare.
