Bears

Bears seem to be the emblem of our journey. The first bear lives on Nanjing Rd in Shanghai. He seemed to be coping with the heat better than we were. 

The second bear lives at the national museum of Finland, just along the road from our hotel. He seems benign, I think. 

The third bear is the symbol of local beer, karhu. He is also found on my moomin sneakers (they will be mine, but no pics yet) which are also a karhu brand. 

Try saying beer bear a couple of times. It's a great newzild workout. 

I think this one would make an excellent tattoo.
