Walter in China


McDonalds!


This is the GM new year party.  Year of the dragon!  Much bigger parties than we experiance in the states.  At the beginning of the party 2 of these dragons were going around the room with loud music etc.  Multiple performances during the party.


Here is the dinner table.  Very nice!


Lois, one of the directors on a 3 year assignment.  Kim would love it if we did something like this!


Real snale shell with some kind of sea food in it.  Tasted like stove top stuffing but looked a lot different.


1000 hand buddha dancers.  These are ladies that work for GM and OnStar and they practice their dancing at lunch and dance at company events.  Very proud of working for GM and the work they do.

Here is an example of this type of dancing (this is from youtube): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE-jPFqvUTo&feature=related


Square near the hotel.  All lit up at night.  2012 sign.


Walking through the subway.  Many lines.  100's of thousands of peopel take this daily.  23 million people live in this city!


Getting off the Subway to see people's square.


The financial district.  The buildings are huge and there are tons of skyscrapers.



Jellyfish.  I ate one and didn't like it.


Walking down a street to the financial district.  Very neet looking. 


This is the square near the hotel at night.  Very bright.  Lots of screens.


Another cool shot.  The blue ball is very interesting and keeps showing chinese words.
