What was kinda funny was that when we walked around, through the open door of these, well, hovels, was the glow of a color tv!

Gosh, you have done the best. I would like very much to visit China. And if my health allows me to so I will. I have met with a number of Chinese attorneys and business delegations in the past few years. I even represented several businesses trying to operate in the Midwest. Everyone was nice, bright, and delightful. Except one businessman who insisted that I adhere to “Gambei” after I had offered a toast. What, what, I was supposed to drink to the bottom? All the Chinese confirmed: Drink to the bottom. I did and received laughter and applause. But I will never full my glass with wine or liquor again. Haha. Did you know that hehe in China means a sarcastic laugh. Like, sure I like to be made fun of at the office. Hehe.
I have studied a little bit of Mandarin/Potangua. Enough that the delegations laughed when I hoped they would laugh and only smiled when I attempted to be serious. I never heard a person from China snicker or giggle unless it was a female who covered her mouth with her hand.
Of course your photos are top notch. I just have a little but friendly camera. Everyone says my photos are great. Hehe. No one would say otherwise: thanks for the glass of wine. By the way your photos suck. Haha.
OK, the obvious question, what photo stuff would you suggest that I purchase, practice with for six - twelve months, and take to China with me? Any ideas? Obviously you have an incredible grasp of the art of photography. That may beyond my Ken. But your thoughts on the equipment would be appreciated.
Wow, Harbin! Hen Hoa!

My current travel camera is a Sony a6500 with a Sony/Zeiss 16-70. I have the 55-210 but rarely use it. I find the combo sufficient. This trip, back when, I had a Canon 40d with a Tamron 18-270, but i was a video shooter.

Excellent series. Especially like photo #1. Would be nice to see some waiting passengers. Dedefinitely, don't drink the water as building poised beyond the river banks let you know where the sewage goes.

Great pictures. Really captured one aspect of rural China. BTW, you were perfect on the phonetic essence of the province. The Pinyin is Sìchuān and the English is the same without the tonal indicators: Sichuan. No need to get into the Chinese characters. There are over 5000. Each with different meanings that can change depending on the context with other characters. And while there are dozens of dialects such that in conversations a person speaking one dialect may not understand another, everyone understands the characters. Hen Hao.
