Chinglish
One of the nice thing about visiting China is that you are exposed everyday to a bombardment of assaults on the English language known as "Chinglish". Chinglish is a term used to describe poor or 'broken' English employed by native Chinese speakers.
So let's finish this travelogue on China with those great signs. That's for fun, Chinese shall take no offense.
indeed!
I guess we should play cards instead...
that's right
self explanatory
mmh

Time to leave
This is our last day in China. Before leaving, let's have a last walk in town. Qingping market is famous all over China. It was one of the first first private market to flourish as a result of Deng Xiaoping's radical economic reforms when it opened in 1979. Vast displays of medicinal herbs, dried mushrooms and other plants, live birds and tubs of squirming turtles, fish and frogs, are on offer.
The advantage of buying a whole chicken is that you get the claws included (a delicacy on chinese tables)
Late afternoon, we head to the airport to catch our flight. We shall land the next day at Nairobi, Kenya. Rita will continue to Rwanda then Congo. Jeremie will spend the whole week in Mombassa, on Kenya's coast, for a seminar.
