Images of Bengbu - 2



The above images are of the sports stadium at Steven Tao's university.  The unique design has that Beijing "Bird's Nest" feel.


 Check out THIS happy family.  They looked very content, although I don't think our local police would allow the nearly 10 safety violations I spotted in these images.
 This was a common sight, and another culture shock for me.  No helmets, and the handlebars sitting just at front-tooth-level for the toddler standing upright on the scooter.  And in busy avenue traffic with huge trucks whizzing by.  The truck horns lightly honk to signal their proximity to these fragile drivers, which I surmise is the way that they feel keeps everyone safe.



A new Howard Johnson hotel will be opening sometime this year or the next, which will be the new best 5-star hotel in town.  This one is located just across from the main downtown square.
