First Annual Scavenger Hunt & Showdown
with jenny lou, local supermarketress (or at least a picture of her)
My birthday went off with a bang on June 19, 2004, thanks to partners-in-crime Duncan, Mike, and Megan, who sent 16 of us all around the city capturing pictures of the impossible, embarrassing, and weird (see list at left). The tasks had to be captured on digital camera, and we have the polics-career-ruining-pics to prove it (well, we edited out a few for the sakes of a few good sports.) See you for round 2, same time next year.
i cannot believe this guy did not win "best beijing belly" (disqualified due to lack of rolled up shirt)
doing the fan dance
on top of an army pedestal thingy
in the pool behind club deep
ringing up a sale at 7-11
squat pants!
on the field at worker's stadium
run over by bus bar (yes, a bar made from an old bus. or perhaps just an old trailer)
not on the list, deserving of extra credit: our cab broke down, so we pushed
selling jade at the dirt market
crushing the intellectuals!
public bathroom shot
buying a vase at panjiayuan
extra credit: immediately dropping the vase
the bus bar is fearsome. beware the bus bar.
just another saturday playing chinese chess
the fakest RMB we could find
at the archery range
public bathroom: too smelly to go in (did not count)
dried dog meat in a bag. yum!
ahem. crushing an intellectual.
snagged the only newlyweds we knew.
more jade selling (though, ahem, not at the dirt market)
some more chess
not jenny lou, but a nice try
this was allegedly a fake palm tree
buying the planning committe some drinks
with a (live) horse
wearing squat pants! (bonus points)
under a rainbow
another day on duty
