The Great Wall of China. ๐ธ
One of my first pictures with my new Pentax (my first “fancy” camera ๐). I really didn’t even know how to use it yet.
But I had just traveled to China to teach English for a year at Zhengzhou University at the ripe ol’ age of 23. It was 1986, and I had to say goodbye to my new fiancรฉ for an entire year!๐ญ

That’s a good picture. 1986 – did you have a cell phone yet? or skype?

Nope, we had no communication; we had to communicate by cassette tape๐.

Wow, I can’t imagine how hard it must had been. I got my first computer that only has a screen for typing – Dos program – a long list of codes.

I just talk about that with my daughter who is expecting her baby in exactly 2 months. We are for human interaction as long as we could. We like to play board games. Will use computer for academic and tech.
