When I lived in N.Y. we used to walk through the grounds on our lunch break and various other sites too, such as the Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick's Cathedral. I wasn't a camera nut then and when I did take pics they were the old fashioned kind. :-) <br /><br />Your comment gave me a chuckle.

I am sure there was a China flag as there are many students from People's Repinlic of China. <br /><br />It is most likely me, I was trying to be discrete when I was taking the photos. I must have missed a panel.<br /><br />I won't be going there again as it took us more than one hour to get there. Besides, they may not let me take photos. At that time, I went on official duty.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-91878639839413957292010-09-20T14:18:13.418-07:002010-09-20T14:18:13.418-07:00I do not know all the flags but some, like the one...I do not know all the flags but some, like the one from India.
