I have been in Kuching, Malaysia for about a week now but I want to post a note about the 2013 Changchun Auto Show before posting anything about Malaysia. I keep forgetting to save my posting as I write and then losing my work ...grrr..rrr.. On Saturday, July 13, Pam, Nancy and I went by the light rail to the auto show. The light rail was crowded but Pam and I got seats because of our gray hair--an advantage to enjoy because of our age! It is not often that aging brings any advantage!
This is me in a CMU t-shirt and a Chinese truck. I was hoping that I would see someone who would recognize the CMU t-shirt. We three collected several shopping bags although there were many bags we did not get. Below is the Buick which is a very popular car in China.

You can see the bags that I was collecting. These bags will come in useful when I go grocery shopping! One thing I did notice at the auto show is that individuals were encouraged to buy the cars they like. There were car salespersons around who would take your orders. I never saw that at the Detroit auto show. Anyway it was a fun outing and something different to do at Changchun. I understand that in late August there will be an agricultural exhibition and show. I am looking forward to seeing that. In the meantime, here is a picture of the lilies at Jilin University.
