China Stories! - Friendly Neighborhood Street Vendor

Street vendors are everywhere in China! Well, everywhere that tourists are likely to go; I can't vouch for the rest. This is a picture of one of the guys that would hang around our hotel in Beijing:


He sold lots of things, including hats just like his! You can get just about anything!

kthxbai - Toy Story 3

When I first heard that there was going to be a Toy Story 3, I was dubious. I worried that Disney was leaning on Pixar and that the story would be typical Disney. It was a delightful surprise to see the beauty that is Toy Story 3. The film brings the audience through the whole spectrum of emotion, from belly laughter to heartfelt tears.

Toy Story and Toy Story 2 have a special place in my heart, and I am pleased to say that Toy Story 3 has joined them there. All of my misgivings were blown away and I believe that this final chapter of the story of Andy's toys is the best of them all.

Toy Story 3 rating: buy it!
