This is a picture of Asher and I outside Walmart and McDonald’s in Wuhan, China. Not ever having spent a great deal of time in the US I’d never actually been to a Walmart. So this was my first and only time.

Walmart in Chinese is 沃尔玛.
McDonald’s is 麦当劳.

These words are basically loan words, which sound similar to Walmart and McDonald’s, respectively.

I hope to write a bit more about our trip to China on here at some stage.
