I remember learning to type on a non-electric typewriter that when you heard the "bing" that meant you were at the end of the line and you had to fling the carriage return with your left hand to move the paper up and the carriage to the start of a new line.
Yup, these were the kind of typewriters we had in 7th grade typing class or very similar. They were fun to type on, you had to really hit the keys to make them go down. Fantastic pictures, Jalna!!
You got so many cool closeup shots. The blue color lantern thing came out so nice and sharp. I really like how the abacus shot came out too. So what's w/the rock w/ handle on the floor? was there an explanation?

Coolness, great shots. I like go again, even if I never post my last two visits. Nice closeup work!

Thanks Erick and Betty. Dunno why but I like go back again too. Maybe it's the feeling of returning to your roots. Erick let me know when you go back.
Even the abacus has evolved. It is awesome to see what life was like. Can you count me in when you guys go again.
beautiful photos!

Celia, I wouldn't mind going back again. I'll be sure to let you know if we do.
Thanks Kat!
Thanks Shun Wah. I think the rock with the handle is a door stop. They were kinda placed next to the opening to the room.
