Guangzhou: the art of drying things (1)
Things drying in Guangzhou. At the windows, in the streets, in shop windows, at home, in bags, above our heads...
It was the week of December 20th. I had arrived on the 20th. Until January 15, the day I left Guangzhou, I was unable to update this blog. The connection was too slow, images would not upload. The weather, that week, was mild, overcast and slightly damp. Nothing, however, that would keep the millenary Chinese art of drying things to flourish all over town.
Liwan Lu area, near the Chen Academy.
Qingpin market.
A chilli pepper at home, Fangcun Dadao.
Also at home: drying orange peels.

Picking the twigs out of tieguanyin tea at the Guangzhou tea market.
Long jing green tea just out of the deep-freezer (for freshness).
Coiled snakes, Qingpin market.
Seahorses, anyone? Good for manhood indispositions.
Cordyceps (already commented on this blog).
To be continued...
