In the 1970s/80s it was primarily a coach park for local hotels, and is currently a general car park. The Town Plan involves the sale of the site back to residential development.

According to our animated, enthusiastic, and architecturally-well-versed tour guide ("Jolly Jim," as I thought of him), this spot is prized for performances by local bands, because they just look so cool playing in front of this thing. I may have to do some Photoshopping with this later on.

This is Craig Walton. He works for the city with the water systems and other public duties. On his free time, he spends his time as a volunteer coach and supporting all the sports his son attends involving football, wrestling, and baseball. I chose Craig as my local stranger because from all his hard work helping the city and supporting Kodiak's sports, his outstanding involvement should not go unnoticed.

5. After hitchhiking with a young mountain biker back to Fuji city, I travelled to Shizuoka and met many nice people along the way. This next image ‘locals’ was taken in Nagoya. I met these two ladies when visiting a gigantic green Buddha. The lady on the left was in her eighties, and the lady on the right was in her mid seventies. They were very good friends. This is another thing that amazes me about Japan; elderly people are so kind and still full of life. It was about 28 degrees that day.

Apparently there was a gathering of many former DMC employees in Portrush. So around a dozen De Lorean cars arrived to Portrush Harbour. Caused quite a stir and got a wee bit of attention. Our thanks to one of the owners who left their car open so that the gull wing doors were on show.....and let plenty of people get their photos taken in the car. He said he should've charged a fiver a photo and got enough to buy another car!
China. Yunnan.
Lijiang Old Town.
Local crafts are colorful and unique. Naxi bracelets and necklaces carved with ancient Dongba hieroglyphs seem popular with visitors. Individually designed T-shirts can be created as locals have the capacity to paint on the Dongba hieroglyphics required. Knitted shawls of the Naxi Group have been popular with female visitors for quite some time. All of these things can be easily found in Quick Guide Old Town at a reasonable price.
Other popular souvenirs include the Bunong Jixiang Bells and Naxi murals. Bunong Bells draw their inspiration from the bells of the horse caravans that once traveled the Tea-horse Ancient Road. Local handcrafts show the romantic horse caravan culture from years ago. The Jixiang Bell, known as the lucky bell, was a sacrificial utensil of the Naxi Group. The Naxi Mural is praised as the gem of Naxi culture reflecting the kind and intelligent aspect of Naxi people. A piece of Naxi mural, with its elaborate pictures and use of pastel colors provides a wonderful decorationt to family and friends.
