beyond the touristy areas of the world heritage site of pingyao is a contrast of lifestyle compared to the everyday life in the old west. the low season hits hard in this streets as winter kicks in, finding myself and my small group to be the only people that actually stand aliens in the cold streets. looking deeper into the alleys i was able to find where the rest of the locals hid and sheltered from the cold.

so as i walked down, past all these crooked houses in amsterdam, i realised most of these had a hook at the top. hmm, i am guessing it’s to lift larger and heavier objects up to the second and third stories. but how do such things fit through the windows?
happy birthday alexandra!
