Royal's Chinese Antique Furniture Shop in Shanghai China

After about a 45 minute taxi ride, our first furniture vendor, Royal (the English name he has taken), greeted us at an intersection in his part of the metropolis and then drove us in his van to his furniture warehouse. His warehouse offered us rows and rows of stacked furniture to choose from. Not being air conditioned, the place was hot, humid, dimly lit and dusty; ah, warehouse shopping in Shanghai. Hand-selecting our furniture is very important to us and we think to our customers. This process allows us to inspect each piece by seeing and touching, looking inside drawers, testing finishes, accessing the craftsmanship and to ask questions from the suppliers. We have rejected many pieces because they didnot meet our standards. We felt comfortable with Royal's knowledge of the furniture and the furniture business. Royal's true passion is designing furniture with a new interpretation of Chinese style. We learned that he personally collects furniture, from around China, and restores and/or repairs the piece as needed in his warehouse. Over the centuries, much of the antique stock of furniture, in China, has been damaged due to neglect and the conditions in which they have been housed. We hand-selected about 45 pieces of furniture from his collection. try to reach Mr.Royal Hsu at 13621990301 or 13901685220 email:shanghaifurniture@hotmail.com, and get to know where his warehouse is to see his chinese antique furniture collection.

Cemetery

This is a very old cemetery located in Cerrito, Valle, Colombia. This is a small town far from the big cities and this is a very typical cemetery in tiny villages in Colombia.

Saint Bernard Longhorn?!?

This was too good to pass up. The guy who owned the St. Bernard had outfitted the pooch with balloon longhorns. It was great for sure!

Saint Bernard Longhorn

The same weekend the Old Pecan Festival kicked off, UCLA came to Austin to play the UT Longhorns. Guess that's why the pooch is donning a pair of longhorns! I still don't know who won the football game :)

Metal Sculptures

The metal sculptures were amazing. There were a lot of sea animals, geckos, and some alligators. Not sure what sort of metal the guy used. Wouldn't mind having a few of them for patio decorations. The geckos were really cool, along with the different sizes and types of fish the artist had.

Old Pecan Street Festival

For a Sunday there was still quite a few people visiting the Old Pecan Street Festival. I heard a news report that said the festival generally draws about 3 to 4 hundred thousands visitors. That's a lot for Austin. The 3-tiered building in the background is called The American Center (if I remember correctly).

Old Pecan Street Festival

The festival takes up about 10 city blocks between the I-35 highway and Congress Avenue. The city closes 6th Street to vehicle traffic, other than the a few horse-drawn carriages and bike-taxis, there's a lot of foot traffic in and around the festival, bars, and restaurants that line the street. You can music coming from the restaurants when you walk by one, and also hear the bands playing at the festival. Lots of cool stuff going on.

Horse-drawn Carriage on 6th Street

There are quite a few of these all around the downtown area. That and the bicycle taxis. Might be a nice way to see the city at night. Bundled up on a cool fall night checking out the sights! Sounds pretty good to me, then stop by that Driskoll Hotel for a hot totty maybe? Yepper, that's on the list of things to do for sure :)

View of Frost Bank

This photo was a nice surprise. I really like the building that's in the background of the photo. It's called the Frost Bank Building. It is one of Austin's unusual and really pretty buildings I think. Wonder if anyone lives in a penthouse at the top of it? Hmmm, wouldn't mind taking an elevator ride to find out :)

Corner of Congress Ave. and 6th Street

The building in the photo is the America One Center (I think that's it's name, might be American Center). Anyway, the corner is probably the halfway point along Congress from the bridge where the bats are and the state capitol.
