5-20-07 Shenzhen


It takes about three hours to fly from Beijing to Shenzhen. It’s rainy here, so everything gets a little excessive amount of moisture. I couldn’t be more familiar with this summer weather where everyone basically “swims” from one place to another.

So, what’s exciting? On my way back from the dinner, I saw this gigantic snail crawling on the curbside in the hotel parking area. Ok, to give you a reference so you have some idea about the scale. I placed a lens cap in the background. I brought a phi=58mm lens with me. The surrounding barrel adds another 15mm to the diameter. So the cap has a diameter of around 70mm (~ 2.8 inch), and that’s at least how long the snail looks to be!

That is an interesting snail, but where is my panda bear?
