Kids in Lijiang

Kathy is big on me taking pictures of either kids or old people, not sure what this says about her, but it makes for some good pictures. We spent two days in the mountain town of Lijiang (of which more later), and here are some pictures of kids.

These three were on some sort of school assignment where they were asking tourists (both Chinese and non-Chinese) to write their names down in a notebook. A young teacher was silently following them around as they did it. No explanation was given for the military dress. The boy in the middle was quite happy until the moment the photo was taken, I was quite surprised out the outcome.

These kids were in class learning to write, a quite complicated task in China given the thousands of characters one needs to learn.

This was the very happy child of a vegetable vendor in the market.

Another market vendor's child, he is already learning how to go to work picking up garbage.
