Guilin Park Pictures

We hit this traditional chinese park on Saturday with the Meyer family. Great spot to hang out with lots of cool architecture, gardens and places for the kids to run and play. The park was built in the 1930's with funding by a gangster named Huang Jinrong. All I can say is that the Wooden Shoe Bandits (Holland Michigan) and Minnesota Rummy (Minneapolis Minnesota) were the only gangs representin' on Saturday. See below for gang bangin' details.

Lots of cool architecture in this park.
Some of the pit bosses from the 2 rival gangs. But fortunately, they had signed a truce this day.
The Chinese warlord that typically runs the Tulip City Bangers but currently on loan to the Wooden Shoe bandits.
One of the multiple hideouts in one of the rock gardens.
A very intimidating picture of the Bandits with a wanna-be that snuck into the background. We threw molotov cocktails soon after this was taken.
We were marking our territory with the photographs. Aimee preferred marking territory in a more primitive way but Sugar Ray (Rachel) explained that was not appropriate.

One other highlight of the weekend was getting McDonald's delivered. We've always seen the delivery bicycles with their little hot boxes mounted on the back but never tried it. It was surprisingly simple to get all the unhealthiness of McDonald's in China.

Step 1: Dial the universal phone number Mcdonalds Shanghai
Step 2: Press 2 for english
Step 3: Place your order with an english speaking teller
Step 4: Receive your food less than 20 minutes later
Step 5: Clog arteries China style

Later!!!!

glad we called a truce! I know, it is way too easy to get fast, cheap, fatty food in China!

Fun! Loved your creativity, and I think I got the Aimee marking territory joke.
