Funny China Pics -- Jason Gallicchio

My Friend Chris's China Pictures and Comments


Site of the 2008 Olympic marbles tournament.
Sees Shoots and Leaves.
And they say American toys are violent.
No playing bugle when your devil daughter tries to get bottled milk. Communism never made sense to me, either.

Me taking a picture of a person taking a picture. Like a comic telling jokes about telling jokes, it's an attempt to be funny that fails.
Dave, the only person who suspects me.
Knows how to bring a team together.
This hotel beat out the neighboring hotel in a war of attrition, so is aptly named.

Taking pictures of bicyclists when they are on the road may be a bad idea.
Chinese torture.
More Chinese torture! Now you know how we felt!
Does Jason look like that all the time? or... Todd smells something funny. or... Erika sees a Russian. or... Aaron scares me.

Elissa, having just pulled her dragon boat team to victory using her jet ski, gloats.

Barbed wire hidden in some bushes. Serious.
Why is there a giant octopus on the side of that building? What else would you put on a store that sells seafood, pen refills, and pies in groups of eight?

Looking closely at this picture reminds me that I would like a Hummer. No, I guess the picture had nothing to do with that.
I lost the other half of my face in a dragonboating accident
Bedhead and Shades: Classic buddies.
The pinnacle of Chinese catapult technology.

I couldn't watch this show for more than five minutes without then needing to use the restroom.
One thing long about the Chinese are their signs.
The biggest reclining deck chair ever.
Just because Jason is leaning closer to Elissa doesn't make me jealous. Nope. Not a bit.

An small recreation of authentic architecture surrounded by fake rocks and modern urbanality. A cynic would say something like: "Just like Beijing".

It's the top half that's Chinese, obviously.
I have a headache this big.



How do you celebrate 55 years of human rights suppression and violation? With flowers.
With this being China and that being Alf's spaceship, there are definitely no stray cats around.

The Store Of The Smalls. Well, this is China, after all. (Me, being half Chinese, should not make these jokes.)
Lots of red in this picture. Our shirts, his politics, my face.
Why is Emily in the light and Aaron in the dark? Because Aaron happens to be Satan.
Hello, my name is Sara. I go to Harvard.

Erika must be off to the left. Also, Jason West makes the scariest, most lecherous face ever.
So long it didn't fit.
Boy, was that a bad sunburn!

Our hotel in Beijing, seen from afar.
You can't tell, but I'm doing that crazy thing with my eyes.
I said I wasn't going to do any more gay jokes, and I mean it.
I took this picture at my eye level. While cocking my head, too.

All the male workers in the Forbidden City were eunuchs. So that's why the characters above the building reading "The Emperor's Balls are Bigger Than Yours" makes sense.
The stage, right after Aerosmith's "Rock China Back to the Ming Dynasty Tour" had left.
Everybody wants a picture with Britney.
The differences between men and women.

How to respect art when you are a guest in another country.

Where's Jason? (I actually don't think he's in this picture, but if he is, he's hiding really well.)
Stud sandwich (The meat is a 12 year old chinese boy just out of the frame) Okay - that was my one gay/pedo joke. Sheesh. Jason started it.

This is one of two Fu dog statues in the Forbidden city. Both are located just outside of the entrance to the kitchen.
Dinner and a show? Come on... it was funny! I really have tried to profusely apologize for that one.
I figure that, next time, I don't need to take up as much of the picture with sky.
I stared at these umbrellas thinking they were fingers for the longest time. They're not. I think.

How I memorize facts in the digital age. If you look in the reflection in the bus, you can see Dave writing the plate number down. Such a waste of time!

The Great Wall: tourist attraction and ski chalet.		  

This really would have been a good picture if I didn't screw up the zoom. As it is, it shows half the face of an idiot.
Better centering, but now Kendra looks all euro-cool.
Pierre and Alex. Awwww....
This was right before I lost my skis. I was so embarrassed.

The hillside reminds me of southern California. Southern California with a giant freakin' wall.
Another good wall pic.
Ahnuld says that your wall is soft.
Hmmm. There seem to be a lot of pictures of me and Pierre. It's a good thing no one is making any more gay jokes.

We went from here to about 10 watchtowers distant. And, being boys, we ran a lot of it right after drinking a beer.
Carrying Drunk Todd to the top of the Great Wall is not easy.
I used to weigh 240 pounds.
Another great Great Wall pic.

The non touristy section of the wall. It's illegal to come back here, but heck, we're Americans. We're not going to let people in other countries tell us what to do.
Sometimes, you just gotta go.

Me and roommate Dave. I'm sitting like that because, uh, well, you squat in China.

I'm about to get all Crouching Tiger on this mantis wearing poseur.
That's Jason West. I can't tell if this picture is cool or poorly shot.
It's true - the grass is greener on the other side.
At no point is beer not a good idea. I'm definitely not an alchololic.

I saw another one of these things eating another bug. Eww! They eat the weirdest things in China.
Big bug.
Who would take a picture of a dead animal of an endangered species?
Buds. I remember everybody being really sweaty.

The Great Wall and associated winery.
The olympic torch! That's all I need to be mistaken for an Olympian (maybe he plays table tennis...)
Posing, in more ways than one.
I think this is a great picture. Ow... I think I just strained something patting myself on the back.

The second ski lift dropoff point, from the other side.
The Hidden Valley Ranch is just behind those mountains.
China was awesome.
Most. Fun. Ever. I still can't believe Pierre rammed into my backside. That came out wrong.

Abrasive soap.
Doesn't it seem like the big building has locked the little building in jail?
Sara counts down to her domination at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in skeet shooting. Skeet, skeet!
I didn't have my V8 that day.

The Chinese have these books for children called "Where's Wujin?" where the kids have to find crazy Wujin among a crowd of people. All the books look like this, and they're impossible.

Cool Civil Engineering In China (1 of 1): The Most Awesome Parking Lot Sign and Associated Counting System
Shopping on this street was weird because there weren't many fakes and, yet, everybody was an art student.
 
If you'll look closely, this is a picture of a sunset.  But you won't.
The Silk Market. Where tourists go when they have had too much of fixed prices and quality.
A cool building in Beijing I saw when bicycling.
