Day Trip

Tai-Tai took me out for a quick trip to an old Chinese house in Panyu, Yi Yun.  She had been there about 3 years ago and had misplaced the information on it...until she found it the other day.  Her impression of it back then was somewhat run down but very interesting in how it had fallen into disrepair.  Little did we know that in the three years since she had been there, they have done some extensive renovation to the place.  It only took about an hour to explore...but it was very good. 

I really enjoy the traditional Chinese homes...the open air corridors and the surprises around every corner.  A vast contrast to the Chinese architecture of today which is square, cement and built with virtually no crafting skills whatsoever.  These old homes are a testament to different times in China.  I mean, look at that front entrance to the house in the picture to the right...amazing.  Pictures here.

Other than that, we've not done a whole lot over the weekend...just lazing.  Yeah, I haven't blogged much, which I thought I would do more of when I was off.  But, meh...that's the way it goes. 

Enjoy the pictures...
