Theme --Beautiful

From top to bottom:
1. spicy peppers stuffed with a sesame seed mixture and fried with more fresh peppers
2. seasoned and fried shrimp (crispy so you can eat the shell and all)
3. goose liver

Beautiful and delicious!
This is fancy food served to us at a wedding.

Theme --Wrinkled

Some sort of petal. My guess is that this is for Chinese medicine. But then again, it certainly could be food.

On sunny days, lots of peppers, peanuts, green beans, bitter melon, and seeds come out to dry. I am just as amazed as you that they put the food directly on the (dirty) ground.

What do you think of my new red and white striped broom?
Nice, huh?
I'll bet you don't have one like it.

broom

Yeah, because mine is made of 100% real juice!
And only 140 calories per serving.
So what's your broom made of?

Theme -- Dark

Sprite helped me select dark subjects at the market
for this week's photos.

This chicken tastes like any other chicken, but it is dark skinned. The meat is darker too. And it makes a quite inky looking broth.

These are a sticky snack food (usually made of rice) wrapped in leaves and steamed.

After a long break from Photo Hunters, I'm back! (My last entry was in April.) It's a challenge I really enjoy.

• April 26, 2008 - Photo Hunters -- Unique or Funny Signs

Theme Unique or Funny Signs

I haven't been able to post Photo Hunters images lately. The topics just haven't worked for me. But this one -- funny or unique signs? No problem. Even here in Hong Kong where English is a second language, there is plenty of humor for an American.

One thing I love about HK is that, in contrast to China, it is far more friendly and accessible to people with disabilities. Point in case -- handicapped restrooms. I know that for many of you, a special access toilet is not anything to be amazed by. But they are rare in China. This one gets special marks for its peculiar sign.

Sort of broadens the use of the handicapped toilet, doesn't it?

Now this next sign below is not really odd if you look at it with Cantonese speaking eyes. But how can I resist? I don't speak Cantonese.

This dialogue is going through my mind.
Lady A "My dentist Terrence is really great. No pain at all."
Lady B "Really? I heard he was overweight. Is that true? Is he fat?"
Lady A "Girl, FAT is his middle name!"

And we end with a wonderful sign -- not crazy at all.
Wouldn't you love to live here?
It sounds like something from Mary Poppins!

Hope I made you laugh!

Theme Free

When I hear "free," I always think liberty.
And what country is the land of the free?
America, land that I love.

Here is a cute craft I found adorning a Christmas tree during my time in America. I thought it was adorable and wanted to document it so I wouldn't forget the idea. (I don't know who Braden is; I found this at a community center in "small town" TN.)
