The bike race was amazing.


The story behind this house is amazing. Originally bought and paid for by Diana's entrepreneurial great-grandparents it was taken over by the Communists during China's cultural revolution. Since that time the family has moved to various parts of the world and are slowly trickling back to their home country. The house sat vacant for decades and it took until the late 1980s for the house to be given back to its original owners.


An unfortunate title.


Throughout China people use recycled glass on the top of their fences and ledges to keep out intruders

The title and the video somewhat say it all, if you're unfamiliar with sniper alley check out the wikipedia article.


The famous pigeon square.

An older video from when I was in Sarajevo earlier this year. This town is amazing.


ssshhh.. these things don't happen in China. In fact everyone here is completely content and perfectly happy. Well at least according to their government.

These people are simply pretending that the local government didn't listen to them or care about their protests regarding a new construction project that went up across the street. Due to its immense size the new project will completely block their view of the sky as well as preventing any sunlight from hitting their once sun-drenched apartments.


This video was filmed October 11, 2008.
