Bill in China

This is a little late, since his trip was back in April, but I thought it would be nice to get these out anyway. I can't wait for him to take me to all the places he went. China seems amazing. He loved every minute he was there.


Bill at the start of several hour hike up the Great Wall in Beijing. He and his buddy Mike were the only ones to venture to the highest point there. Mike is the one who sent these pictures, Bill took 99% video of his trip, not huge on pics. I wish I had some of their "Fear Factor China" that Bill of course instigated. He and Mike competed throughout their whole trip, Bill was champion in the end of course. He ate a chicken foot, lamb testicle, silk worm on a stick, snake on a stick, weird looking rubbery tentacles, among other things.


This cute little lady was part of small group of elderly tourists in Shanghai. I saw the video and it was really cute. She wanted to get her picture taken with Bill, but didn't want to get too close to him. She just kind of inched her way closer and closer with her back partially to him, while her little old friends edged her on and took pictures.


From what I hear, there were around 100 people watching and taking pictures while Bill was mobbed by these youth. Apparently everywhere he went, people wanted to take pictures of him, check out his hands, feel the hair on his arms, stare at him, etc. I guess it helps that he is a smiling, approachable person, even with the language barrier.
