Post-barbecue, in a bar in Yangshuo with a bunch of other teachers.
J-lo eat your heart out. This little girl was working the dance floor and is a Diva in the making. Cute with it though...she wanted a picture, so I obliged. Behind is Hannah and on the right is Wang Lei, the little flower boy, who walked the streets of Yangshuo all night, every night selling roses. He was a persistant little bugger and wouldn't leave us alone, but I liked him. Later this night Anthony took pity on him when he said he couldn't go to bed until he'd sold all his flowers, so he bought them all. I guess the poor boy's flower-pimp thought he was on to a winner - 2 hours later we saw him again at a different bar with a full bunch in his arms. Funny, he didn't come over to us that time...
These are two images I managed to capture of the light show in Yangshuo called the 'Impressions of Third Sister Liu', by a famous chinese director, Yi Mou Zhang. It is held outdoors on the Lijiang River with the mountains as a backdrop. It is an amzing performance and involves a cast of 600. Here, hundreds of girls are walking across floating walkways in the river wearing a version of the local traditional costume, decorated with dozens of lights. When they had reached across they began switching themselves on and off and although it sounds pretty crap when I describe it, the effect was amazing. The second shot is from earlier in the
show where dozens of boatmen on their bamboo rafts paddles across the river dragging with them long sections of red cloth. They took up positions at intervals along the pieces of cloth and then raised and lowered them alternately to simulate the waves of the sea. It was all set to music and pretty fantastic.
