Two violins.
The first was from last week when Fanfan's parents took us out to TuCheng to see the blooming youtonghua that were/are blooming there. It was there that I took the pictures posted here the other day. It was a wonderful little hike, even though it was hot as the devil, and all the more relaxing when we wandered upon this gentleman playing the erhu.
(You can hear Fanfan and her mom talking about my hat. It just says "帽子" which just means "hat")*
The second is in the underground crosswalk in GongGuan. The guy was playing a beautiful song when we passed by, so I started to get out my camera. He stopped and asked me what I wanted to hear, and I told him I just liked to hear him play. He then proceeded to play something that was either too hard (to impress us) or that just wasn't as aurally pleasant as the first song. I think it's interesting nonetheless, the juxtaposition of two violins, the product of two cultures, in one place.
