The legend, 'The most charming ancient capital - Xian' is written in seven languages on this poster, with English coming in last place.
I would imagine that there's a considerable need for bicycle repair men in China. Maybe these days there are more cars on the road, a lot more than in 1991 when I took this photo, bicycles are still in high demand.
I've ridden numerous motorcycles over the years but I've never ridden a sidecar motorcycle, either as the driver of the motorcycle or as the passenger in the sidecar.
'Balancing Act' is another photo taken on the streets of Xi'an, China, not far from the beer distributor.
'Would you like a beer, Ma'am?' was almost certainly NOT what the boy was asking the lady I assume to be his mother. I took this photo strolling along the streets of Xi'an back in 1991.
'Pssst, Wanna buy a fox fur?' is what I imagined the boy emerging from behind the row of fox pelts (at least, I think they are fox pelts) is asking the boy in blue striding down the street.
