old pix from sichuan

while we are on the topic of sichuan, it is a truly gorgeous area of china. even being an obvious tourist myself, i have mixed feelings about china tourism (even eco-tourism and "responsible" tourism sometimes bring along unintended consequences). but i remain hopeful the fine balance between development and preservation can somehow be achieved.

my previous blog entry can be found here: http://www.alivenotdead.com/michaelchan/kids+in+western+sichuan-profile-9644.html
