Summer in China

Tea Salon

Food, culture and art from my summer in China, from May 14–June 16, 2009. Most of the photos were shot in Hefei (in the Anhui Province), where I studied Beginning Chinese at Anhui Agricultural University. Photos with Panasonic Lumix FX35 super-compact, an excellent travel camera.
