Here's an ENORMOUS bug we found. One thing that the pictures can't bring is the sound of the locusts in the trees and the distinctive scent of the city- incense and old wood. And the smell of urine near the poor homeless man who lives in the dilapidated, abandoned children's park down the street. He never moves. We wonder if he used to be a Buddhist monk and is capable of just sitting...
