I remember being a child and being told, ” You can dig to China.” Well let me tell you, to a seven year old boy, it can really spark the imagination! I have always been fascinated by the people and the culture of the east. I found these photos thru a blog at https://www.flickr.com/photos/ralphrepo_photolog/ . I hope you enjoy and please do let me know your favorites. If these are popular, I have found a treasure trove of old Chinese photos which I plan to put up in the coming week or two!
