Photo Friday #23
Uygur boys in Kashgar, Xinjiang Province, China – October 2009
Playing cards, snacking on popcorn, generally owning the streets… boys are boys the world over!
The Next Bruce Lee? Kashgar, Xinjiang Province, China – October 2009
This boy stopped us on the street and pleaded, “Take my picture!” He then performed various kung fu poses and, laughing, asked to see them on the camera.
Engrossed in a TV Show, Kashgar, Xinjiang Province, China – October 2009
This section of street had several small shops selling fruits and vegetables. Each had a radio or TV and a group of kids gathered around listening or watching. I love that there are redheads in Xinjiang!

notice the red hair kid on the left! (one of your club GG!)
Your comment reminded me I meant to include the third photo, which I have just added and you didn’t see when you added this comment.
Boys will be boys but the backdrops certainly interesting. I didn’t realise there would be Arabic writing on shop windows in China.
The Arabic script is used to write the Uygur language. The Uygurs are the predominant minority group in Xinjiang Province. They are Chinese although they are of Turkic origins. There are lots of languages/dialects in use in China. If you see a Chinese Yuan note, you will see it has Chinese (simplified), Pinyin (Romanized Chinese), Mongol, Zhuang, Tibetan and Uygur scripts. I’ve really learned a lot since moving here!
These kids look like they’re having so much fun! Makes me wonder what the little girls are off doing.

I guess I should have mentioned the girls, at least, eh?! Don’t worry, there were lots of girls around the streets, too. Very sweet girls who would run up to us and greet us in English.
