Christmas Lights in Manchuria

It was an unexpected treat to see some proper Christmas lights out and about, in this case on the Nangang Christian Church on Dongdazhi Street (a congregation of the Chinese Protestant Three-Self Patriotic Movement). The church was originally founded as the parish church of Harbin's German Lutheran community.

So Wrong It Must Be Right?

There are times the English used in advertisements and displays here in Harbin is so appalling I just can't help taking a picture. It's a little hard to tell from the angle, but this is a Christmas display at a mall here of what appears to be Santa Claus and Madonna hanging out in a hot tub. Madonna of course can't help asking Santa, "Have you go to Christmas?" To which Santa somewhat surprisingly replies, "I don't cares..." So awesome, so China!
