10,000 Birds

In Shanghai, such fake brands more or less vanished more than 10 years ago, but it seems that on Hainan, there still is a space for them. Playboy is a brand of unexciting clothes – not sure whether there is any connection to Hefner’s empire or whether this brand even exists in the western world.

Take me to Church

10,000 Birds

Last week, I took you to the La Mesa reservoir, the higher-altitude of the two thorn-forest sites on my regular birding rotation.
