Part 2: Back home in Wuhan
 |
| This was at my parents' new house. Now I feel my mom is so skinny. Although my dad is getting bigger, it's good to have his company; I needn't feel too embarrassed with my American shape. |
 |
| These are my uncle's grandchildren. |
 |
| Like Shanghai, Wuhan has a road just for pedestrians in its downtown commercial district -- Jianghan Road. |
 |
| The traffic department sets an umbralla at every intersection for the police. It's advertising for McDonard this year. |
 |
| "Hot Dry Noodles" -- a traditional Wuhanese breakfast. It is similar to spaghetti, but instead of using tomato sauce, it uses tahini (sesame butter). Marco Polo must brought it back to Italy. |
 |
| "Playing Chinese chess on Bamboo bed" -- a typical scence during the hot Wuhan summer. Back the days without air conditioning, people set their bamboo beds out in evening, chatted with neighbors and played games. |
 |
| A bulleting board on the pedestrian street. I have to admit Wuhan is getting full of advertising. It seems that the city doesn't have any zoning regulations. Wuhan has a long way to go before it can become modern cultural city. |
 |
| The pedestrian street ends at the bank of the Chang Jiang (Yang-Tse) River. |

Pizza Hut in Wuhan. Its Chinese name is Bi Sheng Ke: Bi means must or certainly, Sheng means win or victory, and Ke means guests. It is a phenomemon that McDonald's, KFC, and Pizza Hut have almost the same price as it in the U.S. (which is expesive for Chinese), but they still get a lot of business from the younger generation. |
