Fun in the sun

The first sunny day in a while today, so we got out and about and had a bit of a wander.

In the main square here in PX, there are often people out and about, having a walk, having a chat or partaking in one of the forms of entertainment on offer. Today there were also a few people gamely trying to fly their kites. Anyway, as well as the bouncy castle and electric cars, there were also these horses. Unfortunately, no-one was riding them while we were there. However, I've seen them in use once before and it seems that you press down on the foot pedals in order to make the front legs go forwards and the back legs go backwards (at the same time in a kind of 'splaying' manner) and the wheels move the horse along (somehow). I resisted the temptation to have a go on the biggest horse. After my plastic stool-breaking incident last week, I've become extremely wary of sitting on anything here!!!

There are also a couple of pics of our visit to Anyuan a few weeks ago. They're building a 'film city' which is (I think) a mock-up of old-style architecture which can be used as film sets.

Then, just in case you think that China is clean - I do try to take pictures which look nice and so generally avoid taking photos of the litter which gets everywhere - a picture of some rubbish.

Enjoy...
