China 2009

By Al Wong

This is my experience in Beijing, China in the Summer of 2009. If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you start from the beginning of the story.

[Kites]

At Xi'an

Just outside the Shaanxi Museum, there was this guy flying all these little kites connected to each other. He had at least a hundred little kites in the air! It was quite fascinating.

It turns out, he was a local vendor and sold these little kites. What a great way to advertise! I ended buying a package of these kites. You get 30 little kites connected together for about 20 RMB. It's a pretty good deal. I just hope they make it back to the USA intact (They did!). The kites are fragile.
