Guess what I bought today?

135mm
28mm from bedroom window
local street stall, plenty green veges
hand held shot with Image Stabiliser (IS)


Pay day, first since arriving.......Tempted by the best offer this side of the Great Wall, I decided to buy Luke's Canon EOS 400D camera body, an upgrade from the Pentax I sold before leaving for China, especially at the price. He was buying a new camera (bigger body) so we went off to make our purchases somewhere off the metro. He bought a camera, I bought a 28-135 zoom lens. Lei is great at bargaining (i am going to commission her for my apartment search in October!) so we got a great price. Photos above are the test shots. It's good to be working with someone who loves photography, hopefully i will get back into photography, not just taking photos.
Lei and her mum (visiting from the Philippines) came too, lunch at Macas ( a treat for all) and then clothes shopping. I bought a pair of shorts (my other pair is too tight around the middle!) and a black pair of Crocs (@25Y they are a steal...or stolen or a great fake).
I paid the rent, had dinner out, bought a couple of DVDs and that was my day off. Back to school tomorrow.

Luke is the boss, the Director of Studies (DOS) and Lei is the Senior Teacher (and she and Luke are married).
