Construction workers - for Papa & Uncle Greg. These men build the bamboo scaffolding for construction/renovations. It is amazing to walk around the city and see this bamboo tied together with what looks like black string and formed into scaffolding. Bamboo has many uses here in China. Not just for feeding Panda's. :) We did find out that the country is thinking of moving some of the Panda bear population to Jiangxi because of the abundance of bamboo.
Taxi/tour boat driver. We had an interesting experience on her boat. She stopped to give someone on another boat a water bottle filled with brownish liquid and not quite full. The other woman tried to give her money but she clearly didn't want it. She threw the money back and then a very strong but obviously fun too argument ensued. It was pretty funny for everyone including the two of them.
Fishing... used to be huge here but has decreased drastically! In Nanchang, there are river fishers who bring their live fish directly to local markets for sale. They are swimming around in shallow tubs.
Jewelry crafters.
Marchants in the market -
This lady peals fruit at Walmart. I have no idea what this is but it looks pretty neat.
This lady is skinning bamboo and selling it in the local street market.
See the person with the with the Chinese hat - he or she is sweeping hundreds of stairs with a bamboo broom. There were people all over this national forest sweeping leaves with bamboo. I think they must sweet day in and day out.
