Changchun


After Christmas I moved to Changchun in the north of China. This city is one of the few in China where the people speak standard Mandarin.


Changchun employes an army of street sweepers to keep the streets clear of snow and Ice. The pile of 'rubble' on the pavement is ice scraped from the path.

In many stores, the abacus is still used to calculate the bill
