The Money Shot

Being the popular tourist attraction that it is, Xuzhou didn’t really have any unique souvenirs to take home. But I did find a toy jelly lens you can stick on the front of your camera to take close-close-close-close-up pictures of stuff. While most of the pictures I’ve taken have been of dirty toothbrushes, dead mosquitoes, and disgusting frogs (linked for fair warning), I do have two pictures of Chinese coins relevant enough to post on the blog… and act as a great filler until I’m in the mood to sit down and write an article about how much I hate dealing with Chinese schools. Enjoy!
