A Chinese man earns a living with his sheep (ARCHIVED PHOTO on the weekends - originally photographed 2007/06/10).

Ok, I'm gonna have to confess, I have only a small idea what this man is selling but I can't explain the lewd position he's striking with the sheep. If memory serves me correctly, he seemed to be charging tourists to take a photo with the sheep or him or both which may or may not be a "lucky matter" (aka good fortune).

The Admiral Photo: Downtown Seoul, very near Seoul city hall. Summer is full of activity at the base of the statue of Admiral Yi Sun Sin (이순신). As far as I'm concerned, this is the cultural heart of the city. There seems to be something different planned in this area for every night of the summer, thankfully, giving bored locals and tourists something to do that doesn't involve a television set and perfectly groomed Korean drama stars.

Komodo Dragon Photo: Early morning on Komodo Island in the Komodo National Park area, one of only a few places on earth the world's largest living lizards can be seen. In the old days, tourists were allowed to purchase a live, tethered goat and watch while the sacrifice was devoured. As the practice has ended, my attempts to smuggle in a live chicken were thwarted before I boarded the boat that brought us to the island.
