China – Winter 2016 (serendipity)

     Just a little collection of random shots that caught my eye while roaming around Dali Old Town for a couple weeks.

Interesting shots! My thoughts on a few:
Chicken foot – GROSS! Did you eat it?
Prohibit shit – Funny! So only number one permitted?
Beer ad – Guess that’s what girls look like after guys drink a few of those beers!
Guy on bench – Looks like a Chinese version of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. Not quite as successful though, I guess.
