"Huang" means jade, "Jing" refers to water systems; Huangjing implies a place with excellent Feng Shui. Located in the northeastern part of Taicang City, Jiangsu Province, Huangjing Town is a brilliant pearl on the south bank of the Yangtze River estuary. Polyester texturing is the dominant industry in Huangjing. The town has over 1000 various texturing production units, more than 1800 texturing machines, and produces over 1 million tons of textured polyester filament annually, accounting for about 20% of China's output and 10% of the world's output, making it the world's largest texturing industry cluster.

Today, when Mommy took Tongtong to the supermarket, as soon as they entered, Tongtong rushed straight to the cold drinks counter like he usually does. After carefully selecting, he ended up choosing a super-large dish of可爱多 (Kaiduomulti). This kid sure knows how to pick; he ignores everything else but chooses this. Could it be because he’s seen too many advertisements? Do you remember this large-dish version of可爱多?
After Mommy finished shopping, she took Tongtong to the Nanjing University campus, planning to play and eat while waiting for Daddy to finish work, then go home together for lunch. During the time waiting for Daddy, Tongtong didn’t idle for a minute. He started by eating可爱多, once it was all gone, he began playing with the mop Mommy just bought from the supermarket. After playing with the mop, he became interested in the stone benches on the ground, holding onto the table edge and stepping on the stone bench to play a game of standing high. Once Tongtong successfully stood on the stone bench, he even dared to let go of his hands and swayed dangerously on the narrow stone bench, which gave Mommy quite a scare. If he were to fall or bump, Daddy would definitely blame her. So, it was safer to quickly lift the little piggy down.
Today, Mommy didn't bring out the D80 camera, and the photos below were all taken with a point-and-shoot camera. Of course, the results aren't as good as those from a DSLR camera, looking blurry.
