This is me with my friend Garfield (the real one). Yes, Garfield is real and not just a cartoon and he is very much alive here in China folks! He speaks Chinese and I tried very hard to converse with him. But nothing I say can change his mind, he still charged me 2 yuan for the picture. Well, I had this picture just to prove that Garfield has a bigger stomach than I have. Just see the difference!
So many sailing boats in Qingdao. Behind me is one of the longest beaches in Qingdao, China. It is also the site of the Qingdao Sailing Base where the Sailing Contest of the Beijing Olympics was held.
I spent a few days in Qingdao as part-time driver in a hotel for the enjoyment of tourists. Kidding aside, behind me are friends and participants of the Seminar in Intellectual Property in Qingdao. Behind me are Mr. Alam, Madame Afroza (Bangladesh) and Ms. Novilia Mayasari (a good friend from Indonesia).
Candles complement my mysterious (?) personality. I'm here in KingKing Candle Corp. which we visited to acquaint ourselves with the different patented designs in candle making.
What more can I say? This picture shows the happy faces of my closest friends. Benny and Maya (seated) are happy, well, because we're doing what we love most, shopping! And the woman standing in the left (she's still thinking of what to buy) is Tassanai from Thailand. Tassanai asked us to call her Ped, since her full name is breathtakingly long, Tassanai Lerksantivong (there I told you it was long, Tassanai don't be mad okay!) heeeheee.
