Well, with the name and all it was almost inevitable ;)
I must admit to being surprised (and amused) to find someone in the US of A being familiar with them.
Did you read them all? There are 16 Judge Dee books......

I think I read them all - but never made a check list.

BTW I am from Prague, moved here in 97 - that may explain it a bit  :)

The bridge, it is one lane alright.  The sign says yield to oncomming traffic. 

I used it once for different mark - 100 years or more old bridge - so it is up to you if you accept it.

Works for me!  Those are fresh pics, right?  I'm all for recycling, but not for scavenger hunt photos!!
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

My seat is just old, replacement due with the future rebuild :)

If you consider it unfair, I can change the mark.

Yes, it is visible from pretty far away on your side of the river.

Where are the mountain state people on this one? When I lived in Denver it was hard to keep me from the mountains on the weekends.
