I often take pictures of signs when we visit tourist sites so I'll remember the history and description. I could never rely on my memory for all that! <br /><br />While the monuments are costly they do bring in mega tourist dollars to their respective cities so perhaps that helps balance things out somewhat. <br /><br />About the blinking-I feel like they must give them some sort of drops to aid in the no-blink thing. It is amazing to watch though!<br /><br />Thanks for traveling along with me...National Geographic is nice but its not like being there in person!!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-56391712144491451392012-04-20T14:50:03.571-04:002012-04-20T14:50:03.571-04:00breathtaking photos--thank youbreathtaking photos--thank youLynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-53585396732654253802012-04-20T14:48:29.115-04:002012-04-20T14:48:29.115-04:00I have always been fascinated by the Chinese (and ...I have always been fascinated by the Chinese (and Japanese)people.
