on 6 apr 2007, i visited the ancestral home/grave of my maternal granddad for the first time in my life! here's some pics from the trip. some pics of graves here.. those uncomfortable with these kinda things shld stop scrolling now

we like to make funny faces!

they wash clothes and vegetables in drains... urgh


in the courtyard of the ancestral home... it has definitely seen better days
nice intricate wooden doors though



in the drab dining area... but we are still happy to be there!


the reason for our trip... to visit the grave


the plague outside the grave


Exterior of the grave



late lunch at the home of another distant relative

a bus shelter, it too has seen better days


a plague in memory of my granddad's contributions


and with that, we left shaoxing... back to shanghai! a 2 hour drive back
