The first was a little white poodle that had its ears and tail dyed pink.
The toenails were also painted pink.
This is definitely not Chinese. As a matter of fact, you don't see many pet dogs at all.
The second incident is not actually unusual for China, but we still think that it is odd.
At the Presidential Palace we were waiting for our tour guide, Jimmy, to buy tickets.
Susan Hertz leaned over and said, "They are taking pictures of us."
A large group of young adult girls were taking pictures of Susan and me.
Soon they were coming up and wanting individual photos.
I wonder if they think we are Judy Dench? Hillary Clinton? Mother Teresa?
Anyway, it is fun for us, but still a mystery.
A few feet away, a look-alike Chiang Kai Shek was posing for photos for 1 yuan per photo.
He eventually came over, as if to say, "you are taking my business away."
Brad Hertz laughingly said, "You are more popular than Chiang Kai Shek."
What can I say. China is a great place to visit!
