These are pictures from Mainland China. The picture of farmland is interesting, because a different farmer owns each plot you see, so the areas are very small. No room for large farm equipment. The couple of traffic pictures try to show the chaos of traffic. Bicycles are on the interstate and nobody cares about lanes, even driving on the other side of the street to bypass traffic is not out of the norm. 
These are more pictures from Hong Kong. The top picture is a sampling of food, this happens to be lunch. Next is the Big Buddha we visited. The picture of skyscrapers are apartment buildings and that is referred to as the country side in Hong Kong. The picture at night is just of the Hong Kong business district and lastly a local market.
We had a great Christmas Day. Amelia got what she asked for from Father Christmas (purple presents) and lots more from the Grandparents. We spent a leisurely day opening gifts and eating. The turkey even managed to get done exactly on time.
