Ten Children at The Wall

We visited the great wall earlier this week. In addition to seeing the wall there were some other things that were very interesting.

We wore orange shirts so it would be easy to keep track of each other, but it also made us easier for others to recognize us as a group. Having ten children there caused a bit of a stir: many of the locals thought our children were the attraction. Many people took our picture - in small groups or all together, with a close relative or friend of the photographer in the picture or without.

Even when Pooka returned to the vans with only three: Laundryman and the youngest two, passersby would still see the shirts and start talking about "shir ge hai zi" - ten children in one family!
