Royal's Chinese Antique Furniture Shop in Shanghai China by philipsong
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:[email protected], and get to know where his warehouse is to see his chinese antique furniture collection.

Letters for Mom's Birthday by myscope
Obviously, I made mistakes on my Chinese letter, but it shows great effort. I was going to handwrite the English version but I ran out of time. No matter, my efforts were heartwarming.

Handling the Fireworks by myscope
This is my first time with fireworks. I was extremely nervous to be so close to sparks, but it's such a thrill to watch myself handle the sparks!

Remember '09 by myscope
I didn't expect anyone to make a picture saying "09" but that's how it turned out!
Welcome to My Vortex by myscope
I was fiddling with my Time Exposure and Aperture settings on my Canon Rebel Xti, and I hope what I did was right. No one has ever taught me to do this, so there were a lot of mistakes and silly ghost-like pictures.
Ghostly Girl by myscope
This is Linan lighting fireworks. She's my host sister's cousin from Japan and she's half-Chinese, half-Japanese. She's highly amused with fireworks. I would be too.
Part of the Dinner Table by myscope
This is only a portion of the dinner table. We had a total of 15 members at the table. I must say, it was a lively dinner and a lively night.
Japanese Fried Chicken by myscope
Made by Linan's mom. It's like fried chicken and much tastier than KFC. I was glad to try such a tasty Japanese dish.
The Dinner Table by myscope
I can't remember how many dishes were prepared, but it was absolutely delicious. It was a home-cooked meal with lots of meat--my favorite part of the food pyramid. In addition to great food, I received great praise from all the members of the family. I truly am blessed.
Fu=Happiness by myscope
The Chinese character Fu, which means happiness, creates this circle. Gina's cousin is holding this.
