Images from a big country (thank you, Bill Bryson)





Seven airlines I'd never heard of. Fleets and volumes I couldn't believe.
Yet again, I am humbled by my ignorance.





A visual parable?




Glimpsed in passing





Col. Sanders has joined the PLA?





... and what is this? (Shall think of something nice for the first correct, precise answer)

    JAPda, willkommen.

    The correct, precise answer is it is a shot of an elevator shaft, taken from below.

    Prize only in barrels of oil, thank you.

    Is this the view from the trapeze class? I think there should be something nice for the first wrong answer as well!

    Srin-win situation. Would you want a print of that pic, youngster?

    Hyatt in Pudong, starts on the 56th floor. Atrium goes all the way up to the 88th floor, from which that picture was taken.

    The bar up there was the first place where I saw clouds drifting BELOW me while I had my feet on a floor.

    Great pictures. So do they actually have Hainanese chicken rice in Hainan, or is that just a Singaporean affectation?
