In my photographic wanderings, I was met by
interest and curiosity but also by smiles and courtesy. Whenever I
practised my 4 words of Mandarin, any linguistic barriers fell away.
Nee-Haa (my phonetic pronunciation) is Hi or Hello. It always gained a

A family snap in the park. My mum had such a
beautiful dog when I was a child.
some interesting architecture here. It's a bank, I
was told.
In the heart of this 21st century city,
a lady washing something in the river and a fisherman manoeuvring his
nets with what look like giant chopsticks.
an old bridge in the centre of Yuyao.
some very modern advertising techniques.
Note the instruction in English on the
overhead road sign.
I meet up with my hosts for a banquet lunch.
Fresh? I should say so, it was alive just 2 minutes

Another day, another banquet!
Each morning, I'm on the photo prowl.
Traffic in Yuyao was not too bad, probably because
the bike is still a very popular mode of getting around.
However, some tricycles were presumably
operating outside of the law. Here police were towing two away!
Mobile phone shops are everywhere. A bit
like the UK then.
