At the zoo

Today I went to the zoo with my mother's cousin. We both arrived with full camera batteries which didn't last the full day. He had a spare, I just had to get as much mileage as I could by periodically resting my camera and giving the battery chemicals a chance to react. If you click the black box you'll see a video, containing some footage and some stills. (On another note, similar black boxes on this blog are also videos, although I also upload most of my videos to youtube, it's easier for my Chinese friends if I host everything here)
Here are more still shots. You can get them in their original quality by clicking them.

Chinese Dinner

Last night our Chinese class and lecturers had dinner together. Unfortunately our lecturer from Nanjing is finishing her contract and going home early next year, so it was a slightly sad occasion even though we were having a great time.

I told you so

If you ignore the advice in my previous post then this
will happen to you.

Just to clarify, I don't think this particular accident was caused by people going straight ahead from a right turning lane because there are only two lanes on that road. But I still think you should always drive in the correct lane. It actually happened just outside my house and slightly delayed my arrival home (I live in that forest you can see to the right).
