This was definitely my favourite thing that I saw in China - old men and women doing oversized calligraphy in the park using what looked like a big pointy sponge on a stick. I'm not sure what exactly they were writing but I'd like to think that it was poetry (??). The best thing was that it just evaporated after a while and disappeared, a very classy form of temporary graffiti.
Lost.
This was taken at an antiques market in Shanghai. The street was a real treasure trove of interesting bits and bobs, some rubbish and some brilliant finds. Purchases we made included personalised chops (handcarved red stamps with our names on them), a book of Mao philosophy and an opium pipe. Hmmm.
