Postcards from Asia

A weblog with updates of my Asian travels and studies. I invite East West Center fellows, GPC colleagues, and other visitors to post on topics of interest in Asian studies.

GPC in China: Trip to Hang Zhou Part V: Next time I come back to China, I want to do an entire photo series on Chinese people and their ice-cream. Of course, people everywhere love ice-cream, but the Chinese--young and old--seem to really love their ice cream. When I took this photo, I had originally planned to photograph this girl and her mother eating ice-cream together, but her mother and I got to talking together and she told me that she was an alumnus of Nanjing Normal University (the school where I and our GPC students are studying). She then introduced me to her parents (the little girl's grandparents) and the whole family gathered around and encouraged this little girl to pose for her own photograph, which she bravely did. Next I'd like to photograph some senior adults with their ice-cream. Some of them look just as happy and just as funny.
