The Faux-hawk and the Golden Tree (it's the next installment in the Harry Potter series...just you wait)

This new post is completely for the pictures. Here we have the faux-hawk, mentioned in the last post...it might not last long, so save this picture for posterity. And we also have myself (the tall white guy) standing under the wishing tree outside of the famous Fuzi Miao (or confucian temple) of Nanjing with Zhang Ping (whom I met maybe 50 yards from this spot on Mid-Autumn festival) and her friend Han Rong (with the shorter hair...she's actually one-fourth minority race (how on earth do we say that in English?)...she's tuzu (or of the dirt tribe...yep. no lie.). Good thing I cut my hair, no? It was getting unwieldy. We wandered around the mall, played some super-fun (and yet embarrassing ) video games...like dance-dance revolution, but with fifty people watching...and you have to use your ARMS too! Then we called up Greg and went to dinner. After we'd finished eating, I called a bunch of people from our study abroad group and we went to a KTV and sang for a while. Both girls sang surprisingly well, but there was one song that Han Rong just went to town on! It was way good. All the guys sang (twice!) a song by Guang Liang called "fairytale" or Tong Hua. WAY FUN. Ask me for the song sometime. UPDATE! I PUT THE SONG IN MY MUSIC PLAYER AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.  LISTEN TO IT! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!
