This and That

These photos are of random places and things around Xining.

The upstairs at the new Greenhouse.  This is where we
 celebrated Thanksgiving.

The downstairs of Greenhouse.

An event called English Corner that I volunteered at.

We spoke with different students for a couple of hours to let
them practice their English.

This is a process called cupping that they do
at the office twice a week.

They make sure that the blends are of good quality through
smell and taste.

Some artwork that some employees of GH made at the office.

One of our classrooms at the university.

We drew some art for the teacher.

View of the mountains north of our apartments.

The river that runs through the city.

Walking to the furniture market.

Our modest stack of furniture.  We've seen it stacked
much higher.

One of the larger local markets.

You can get whatever snack you want.

The next several photos are our journey to get passport
style photos taken.

Wait, this is a convenience store, why did we come here?

But wait, what's this staircase?

Looks like a bunch of storage....

And apparently a photo studio.

"say cheese"

These last few photos are of an outdoor market near our
 apartments. We've purchased a lot of stuff here including
 key copies and bedding.
