| Popout Map |
My brother just got back from two weeks in China. He sent me a couple of souvenirs. One is a "Popout" map of Hong Kong. It is pretty cool the way it folds out and then folds back up. Printed on card stock. It has a list price of four English pounds or $40.00 local, whatever that is. Yuan, I suppose.
He also sent me a copy of a tabloid size newspaper called "Beijing Today". It makes for some interesting reading.

| Students crossing the Nujiang River |
On page 3 there is this photo of some people crossing the Nujiang river on a pedestrian suspension bridge. The caption in the paper reads "Students of Bula primary school, near
Kunming, Yunnan Province, can cross the Nujiang river to school on a safe bridge starting this week. Before, they had to shimmy across on a rope." This
version of the story is a little more forthcoming.
Weird how once something catches your eye, you start seeing it everywhere.
Update September 2016 replaced missing pictures.
