We drove to a Buddha temple half way between Nanjing and Shanghai with Helen parents 

As you can see the Buddha is very big

Another view from the temple

Helen at the Buddha - yes, it is an optical illusion

We also visited a town know for making teapots

 

Later we visited a place where you can find the famous "flower stones" close to Nanjing

Some people work here, making a living of finding nice stones

There were a lot of stones.  Helens parents picking some

We also celebrated New Year with fireworks.

Helen and I also had a nice trip to Thailand (Pucket during this visit)
