China 2010 Photojournal

While in China, I took over 4000 photos.  Many of which are in my personal collection, but I did pull out some of the highlights to create a photo journal for my student to have and share with their friends, family, and the people who supported the trip.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicallyss/sets/72157624746214196/show/

Shanghai Sunsets

On our last evening in Shanghai we took a sunset cruise.  This city has some of the most creative and trendsetting architecture in the world. They use shape, lights, and technology to create a unique and special skyline.

This may have to be my new logo and mantra:

Excellence Pursuer

Prevail Forever

HBCU's compete on a global scale, too. Best believe.

Shanghai has aestheically pleasing elements, but is not wasteful.  These are light elements placed under the bridge of a freeway.  They come on at dusk and turn off at 11pm. When buildings/rooms are not in use the electricity is turned off.  Your room key turns on the electricity. When you leave, it is shut off.  I was completely feeling their green/energy conscious lifestyles. Something we can definitely utilize here in the U.S.

China 2010

Several of my China photos have already been published, but these are some of the ones I kept private. Every where we went, people would take pictures of us.  The kids were especially curious and every one was friendly. Eye-opening to be immersed in a completely different culture.  I'm grateful for the experience of seeing another part of the world.

The Forbidden City

He was so sweet!  Came up to me and asked me to practice English with him. We chatted for a while.  The greatest lesson learned is that humanity has no language barrier.
