Pic o' the Day #40b

See, the whole photo campaign is breaking down. I've missed two days out of the last five and now I seem to be posting five pictures on one day.

Brothers !

A rare sight here in China. Almost all of my students are only children (only childs?) Because of the population controls, twins are a rare delight here. Parents take care of kids and educate them. Then, the kids take care of their parents. Two boys gives you a real head start on your retirement.

When I told people in America that I was one of five boys, they almost always said, "Oh, your poor mother." Here, however, they get it right and say, "How fortunate for your mother." Right, mom?


Meet the 棉花糖王(mianhua tang Wang, the Cotton Candy King of Mianyang). This is in the main plaza downtown,　铁牛广场 (Tie Niu Guangchang, Iron Bull Square). On the weekends, this is the place to be for the 10 and under set. Roller skating and cotton candy, what a day.
