Governor General Visit









The GG was in town early July so Ben, Fan Di, Sean from CTV and I where the pool for it. Got to see the pandas, tour a garment factory and spend may days sweating in high humidity and and heat. Also toured a rebuilt school in Sichaun.

Most of these pictures come from Fan Di. the Video is below for you oh and ah over. Still not sure if panda is tasty though.

Shanghai PJ's




A while back Ben Fan Di and I traveled to Shanghai for the opening of Expo. One of the stories we did was about PJ's. Seems a long time ago wearing your bed cloths out to do your shopping was considered a sign you where wealthy and had leisure time. For expo there was a big push to knock that off. Didn't seem to have much effect on the locals. Athough when we stopped people to talk to them they weren't thrilled to be seen on TV in their PJ's. Pictures are courtesy the fabulous Fan Di.
