My birthday present…
sorry for the poor pic quality – I really need to be using a proper digital camera and not my phone. Anyway…
in context it looks like this
and close up
It’s a picture of the Happy Husband and I in a Chinese newspaper in Chonqing on Valentine’s Day 2005. We were stopped over on our way from Chengdu to the Yangtze River (local) cruise boat and were asked to participate in the Valentines Day parade (largely because we were 2 of about 5 Westerners in the whole place – or so it seemed!). It was truly hysterical. Imagine going to a really big shopping centre/mall and seeing a centre stage surrounded by a few thousand people. Then imagine two foreigners dressed up in local costumer surrounded by a few local celebrities and jewellry fashion parade (that’s right – JEWELLRY!) Then the interpreter stands there and speaks to the audience for a bit and then the interpreter, interprets only ONE line to the foreigners in the form of a question about love.
SO FUNNY! We loved it and were sent this picture later on. The Happy Husband had it framed and then blown up into this print to hang in our lounge while I was away. The orignial picture can be found here
