It’s been a while since I put up any new photos, so here’s a fresh one … taken in a packed Christian service I attended out of curiosity this Sunday morning at Haidian district’s church (which clearly wants to be an American mega-church, despite, well, not being quite that mega). While the passionately Christian Chinese acquaintance I went with stood reverent and modest by my side, this girl, bejewelled and in her not-exactly-Sunday-suit, happened to step into my shot.
"We love party" ... including Christ, I take it?
