Scum!!!

So...don't be fooled by this bucolic scene, but the yellow buildings in the background is WHERE WE LIVE!!! This is the nicest view of any part of urban China that I've been able to capture, but it's really not the norm. Anyway, it's nice enough....

Note that we live on the top floor, as in, the roof, as in, look at all those beautious terraces up there in the smog!!!























The scum-encrusted pond in the little park near the villa. How charming.
