China’s ‘most inconvenient convenience store’ hangs off the side of a cliff


The name Shiniuzhai – “stone ox village” in Chinese – was inspired by one of the hills, which is shaped like the back of an ox.

The convenience store is located along an 800-meter via ferrata route. Via ferrata – Italian for “iron way” – is a pathway along a mountain that uses metal anchors and other structures that climbers can fasten themselves to as they make their way up/across challenging terrain. 

Hunan, a landlocked province with 64 million people, is also home to The Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, which is famous for its  pillar-like karst formations believed to have inspired otherworldly landscape in Canadian director James Cameron’s 2009 hit “Avatar.”  



After church we went to Summerlin and


for a long, fun, delicious meal for 11.
Superman, Wonderwoman, Grandhunk1, his girlfriend Grandcutie, her parents, Larry and Tina, Grandhunk 3, his friend Jason, and
friends of GH1and GC, Brian and Monica.
 
GH3, GH1, GC.

We had heard that they had a ice-skating rink by the Redrock Hotel and Mall. None of us skated but enjoyed watching all levels and a lot of first-timers. 

GH3, Superman walk grandma to the rink.

It was more crowded than it looks in the photo.

I have wanted to be tall like WW, This is as near as I got.       


Our gang watching from the outside.
