My new "lens"

Is this me with my face in a Canon 18-200 zoom lens? Why yes, and, no. It's one of my favorite great gifts that Erik got for me for Christmas, and a completely unexpected one. It's a thermos! Unfortunately I can't find the cap right now so I can't take it outside with me, but it's fun to carry it around the house and smile at its ingenuity whenever I use it. Made possible by (one guess) Tao Bao.

My Tao Bao Christmas song

(to the tune of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas")

Chorus:

We bought all our gifts on Tao Bao

Whatever we need on Tao Bao

We buy everything on Tao Bao

And it comes to our door

We find things online

They cost so much less

It saves time and money

We don't go to the store

(Chorus)

There’s rarely a day

When we don’t hear “kuai di!”

That’s what they yell at us

When they ring at our door

(Chorus)

A hundred and eight things

In the last ninety days

That might seem excessive

But we just might buy more

Did you try to look on Tao Bao

You really should look on Tao Bao

They have everything on Tao Bao

And it comes to your door!
