who is this dude?

...i don't know, but he's awesome.

other awesome morning sightings in beijing:
1.  man doing tai chi every morning when i walk to work.  i really want to take a picture, but fear the awkwardness as i walk by him for the next 2.5 months if he catches me.
2.  the BIGGEST cucumber i have EVER seen.  seriously, this thing was like 10th birthday party watermelon size.  the seeds were the size of regular cucumbers.  ok that last part was an exaggeration.  i also thought i saw yao ming-size green onions , but jen informs me these are indeed just referred to as "leeks."
3.  a person on a bike pulling a cart the other day.  the cart was only partially covered.  and inside were a bunch of red, bleeding carcasses.  probably headed to my cafeteria for lunch.  i avoided the meat that day, opting for the stuffed veggie roll, egg drop soup, and corn.

I embarrassed myself laughing out loud at this picture in my office. I am now calling over everyone within earshot to come look...

Note: the chinese gov't did not sensor the above comment. I did due to horribly bad proofreading.

glad I could hook you up with the identification of bizarre vegetables. I can't wait for thanksgiving 2007: we'll stuff the tofurkey with some crazy stuff.

the chinese quaker oats guy is amazing.
