New glasses- scoping out a new neighbourhood & my Chinese Neighbours

Walked to a new area of my neighboruhood today. My colleague, Vicky - is away for the National Holiday- but I remembered hwo we got to this sweet little spot. Forgot my digital camera. After crossing a street - I decided NOT to take a chance to go back. So, I only had my cell phone. Will wait for 24 hours for the pics to arrive to my gmail. Don't really understand this? Any Tech people can explain?
Anyway- new glasses:
I don't care if you like them S & E - I DO!
I got this warning from the Canadian Consulate in Shanghai in my gmail this afternoon. Yikes:
