Pictures Of Them Taking Pictures of Us

This is the funniest part of living here in China. People are always taking pictures of us, well not me, but people are always asking to get pictures with the kids, so I took pictures of some of the people who are taking pictures of us. It's hilarious. The people are very friendly, and they will try to get their relatives to stand near one of the teacher's kids and they will try to get in a picture with the American kids.
Look at this picture. The guy with the white t-shirt got his wife (the woman with her right arm pointing out) to stand behind the American kids so it would look like he was taking a picture of his wife, but actually he is taking pictures of the American kids.
This woman got her friend to stand by Rachel and Vika so she could get pictures with the American kids.
This woman got her husband to stand by Vika who is floating in the pink tube. They were having a hard time getting a good picture so I just pushed Vika over by them so they could get a good picture and told her to smile in their picture then I slipped away in the background. They thanked me profusely and then went on their way. Inexplicably no one has asked to take a picture with me. While I was looking from the water Jonny was posing for a picture of his own. A family asked if they could get a picture with him so he obliged. We were at the beach for about 3 hours and there were probably 10 people who asked to take pictures.

Celebrities, huh!  We know that you are all photogenic, but now you are in the limelight because you are not only beautiful but the minority.  That is a better way to say that you are an 'oddity'.  The beach looks like fun and the kids friends seem great.  It seems that you are having one adventure after another.  How great is that???
