Interesting Sites in China

Not a lot happened today, so I thought that I would post some of the more interesting other photos that we have taken through out China.

This is a McDonalds Delivery Moped. Yes, McDonalds delivers.
This gentleman couldn't pedal his bike up the slight incline. He jumped back on at the top of the small hill and took off. We see a lot of over loaded bikes like this around town.
This sign was out side of the Wal-Mart in Xi'an. no 'pats' and you aren't allowed to 'eat foot' in the store.
This man was hauling a fridge across town. They will haul anything they can strap to a bike.
There was a traffic light at this major intersection, but police were still needed to direct the traffic. Traffic rules are more like suggestions in China.
Another seriously loaded bike.
This is a three wheeled truck loaded with firewood. It only has one wheel in the front. We see a quite a few of these old type trucks around.
I was surprised to find this poor translation in one of the fancy restrooms by the Bird's Nest and Watercube in Beijing. It is trying to tell you to put your hand under the faucet and it will turn on automatically.
Here is a common panel in their elevators. Notice all of the skipped floors. 13 is unlucky to westerners and 4 in any form is unlucky to Chinese.
