The great heroes of communism seem little more than background props in contemporary Shanghai.
This is a preview of sorts for the remaining articles I need to write about my last trip to China. I hope people will return to read the full “non-Wordless” versions.
hahaha this is really a leisure place… cool catch!!! I am finally back.. hope you can visit mine too… I am sure you’ll get a wordless laugh at my entry… LOL! Happy WW!
I wonder how many Karl Marx statues and squares there are. It seems like every city in Europe, and now Asia has one. I guess that’s how you can tell you are in the U.S. NO Karl Marx statues.

I can’t say I know what I am looking at, but I love it anyway. I really love statues and anything historical. Lovely photo. Happy WW!

Two serious, imposing refs!
April 1st, 2009 at 3:41 am
I’m intrigued and can’t wait to hear more about your journey.
April 1st, 2009 at 3:42 am
Interesting choice of referees!

Isn’t badminton a little bourgeois for Marx and Engels?
April 1st, 2009 at 8:12 am
Very cool
April 1st, 2009 at 9:24 am
That is oddly surreal.
April 1st, 2009 at 11:09 am
LOL. Are Marx and Engels any good at badminton? I know there were good at other things, anyway…
April 1st, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Ah…badminton. Isn’t a BIRDIE involved in that game? Heeheehee
April 1st, 2009 at 2:44 pm
So,do Marx & Engles keep score or are they the ‘net’ ? heehee

Happy WW!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully nobody hit the birdie so hard that it lands on Marx and Engels. They may never get it back.

Looks quite amusing me to seeing them play badminton in front of them!

April 2nd, 2009 at 7:43 am

Happy WW …I’m a little late this week.
