A Gnome in Shanghai, China [Courtney Maxfield (Anderson)]

Geo George is over looking a part of Shanghai, China which has 20 million people.

Here he's at the Mag Lev train which goes 420 Kilometers per hour.

Shanghai is the financial center of China and also considered the most modern city in China.

Like Vietnam, there is no major religion in China because of the communist government.

A Gnome in Saigon, Vietnam [Courtney Maxfield (Anderson)]

Geo George is looking out over the fast developing city of Saigon, Vietnam.

Here, he's in the lobby of a hotel listening to traditional Vietnam music.

Saigon is the business center of Vietnam so all kinds of activities are available. Many tourists like to shop because everything is very cheap.

There is no major religion in Vietnam because the communist government promotes atheisism.

This city is a mix of new buildings and old buildings because it is growing very fast. The streets are filled mostly with motorcycles. And its tropical in Saigon with lot of palm trees.

Gnome in Michigan!

My brother-in-"law" is going to "law" school in Michigan. It's too cold to go outside (at least for my sister). She decided to take the picture of my gnome, Bob, with her daughter once she started sleeping in her crib.

Question 1: Are there any mountains where you live?

"I live in Michigan and there are not any mountains. At least not like Utah. The so called 'mountains' here are just hills."

Question 2: How do people treat their environment?

"The people here recycle bottles, pop cans and plastics. They are very environmentally friendly."

Uchtrey came to Anchorage, Alaska Our city has 278,000 inhabitants. The
largest of any town in AK we have 2/5 of AK's population. The city is
squashed between the Chugach and Talkeetna Mountains and the Cooke
Inlet. We have some snow (not as much as usual) and cooler temperatures
(20's-30's). Anchorage has a subarctic climate due to its short, cool
summers. Average daytime summer temperatures range from approximately 55 to
78 degrees Fahrenheit ; average daytime winter temperatures are about
5 to 30 degrees. We average about 19 hours of sunlight in the summer
and in the winter we only have about 5 hours of sunlight. We have all
kinds of foods represented here in AK. Although the tourists like to try
local game and seafood.....moose, caribou, dall sheep, bear, salmon,
King crab, halibut, etc. As we are vegetarian, we prefer to feast upon the
varied berries and wild mushrooms. The Matanuska Valley (just 30 mins
north of Anchorage) grows the world's largest cabbages, pumpkins,
squashes, etc as a result of our midnight sun. My husband is a
geophysicist/geologist. He travels around Alaska doing environmental clean up. He
has also studied sea ice out of Barrow, AK (the northern most tip of AK).
I am a housewife and take care of my kids. We do a lot of camping,
hiking, kayaking, biking, climbing, etc during the summer. In the winter
there are all sorts of skiing (downhill, cross country, skate, alpine
touring, telemark, etc.). There is a lot of ice skating, sledding, ice
hockey, dog mushing,ice climbing, snowshoeing and snow machining.
