This is the week where China celebrates it’s birthday!  Lots of fireworks!

0_0 Scary Marble Mountain Slide

Climb Liaojieling Mountain in Henan, and you get the opportunity to check out this sweet marble slide!  It goes about 3 city blocks down and immediately dead ends on a 2ft platform leading to a major 20 ft+ drop off. The only thing between you and the fall is a unreliable large net.  FUN!  😛  It was tons of fun actually, pretty awesome!

Lady of the Lily

This past weekend was Homecoming for the Students at SIAS, so the Freshman and Sophomores help design floats for their different departments and schools.  This was one of the floats – the lily started closed, then slowly opened as the young girl danced up out of it in the traditional flowing sleeves dance. Very beautiful!

Happy Days!

I have yet to see a day where Balloons on a Blue Sky don’t make me a little bit more cheerful!
