| This is my favourite shot from the trip - it's just happily crazy, and given it was Simon's birthday, delighted he's in it. |

| The beautiful barrel-vault ceiling of one of the many Catholic churches - this one wood, and a lovely faded teal. |
 |
| The dome inside another - I particularly liked the dove flying in the bottom right of the picture. |

| The old Chinese houses had some amazingly beautiful plaster work, made out of crushed coral and egg-white. Not sure if you can see enough detail with this size picture, but the dog in the top left had a particularly wild look on its face - perhaps eying the tasty bird? The glazed ventilation tiles below it are Chinese coin motifs, and in each corner is a bat - a lucky symbol in Chinese. The town was full of bats - as in bat imagery - I didn't s spot any live ones. |
