A kid was astounded to see all this art on the hoof.
10 years old with the face of a man. His name is Gabriel.

I found Gary on crutches but his sense of direction was intact.

He led us right into some sort of a celebration involving dancing lions with giant heads.

And an eardrum assault by a longrope of firecrackers accompanied by a crash and drum band.

Chinatown has these magnificent streetlamps. Everybody had to draw at least one.
And it seems each block had a draping of paper lanterns.

After lunch I came out into bright sunlight and deep shadows;
the jumble and bustle of a chinatown street.

This guy was playing a two stringed instrument called an ERHU.
He quite happily played and posed while puffing on a cigarette.
After a while he came over to spell the name of his instrument on my drawing.
