Other Qingdao tidbits.

Qingdao people don’t seem to drink liquids with meals.

They eat tons of mantou (steamed bread).

There are lots of big spiders (but not scarily big) that look a lot like American garden spiders, but have thinner bodies.

The population is so low compared to Shanghai that it looks to me like the streets are practically empty all the time. 

People drive in a civilized way, and rarely run red lights.

Sometimes they do drive on the sidewalk, though.

People are very helpful, although they run their words together so it is not easy forme to understand them.

Oh — I got to watch part of a TV show being filmed!  It was a TV drama called WHO UNDERSTANDS MY HEART?  I understand the main actress in it is pretty famous, and played a nurse on another show, but I don’t recognize her.  I’ll post pictures later.

    The picture of the guy with the van seems only very slightly elongated, and everything else on the page looks totally normal. The block of three Flickr photos are on the side. The badge is down below, and looks A-OK.
