China's military museum is a lot of fun, particularly when you're a 6-year-old boy. We didn't explain that all these cool toys are for shooting people. The exhibit included swiss-made artillary - I had no idea the swiss made guns.

The reverse-engineering appears faithful to the original, right down to the trick rear-axle-above-centerline-of-wheels. And the oil leaks. As soon as China's homebrew hiphop artists get big-time enough, they'll need some of these. And some dubbs.

Passover wingding at the Chabad school. Chabadniks go all-out. This was quite fun.
