Nanjing Photos (in the rain)

Umbrellas in Nanjing!

If it wasn't raining it looked pretty bleak, as you can see across the lakes towards the centre of town. This is partially due to the Chinese smog though - most places over here don't see a truly blue sky very often.

A very neon-lit arcade - with a very blue Vicki feeling self conscious in the middle.

A very scared Gary about to go for a hair cut. This is his first of the holiday (put off until his hair got incredibly long and floppy due to cowardice). He definitely needed it!
