Description I forgot to post this with the other Potsdam photos... my bad.

So, I love this photo for many reasons. One of which is that it's sparkly.

This is the Chinese Tea House that's next to the palace San Souci (the German Versailles). By looking at the statues, it becomes quite clear that neither the king nor the builders had ever seen a Chinese person in their life, as all the statues are pretty much Europeans wearing traditional Chinese dress and playing traditional instruments (but that's on the other side of the building). I thought the whole thing was highly hilarious and just had to share it with everyone.
