Quick, on the outrage bandwagon!

Not sure that there's much to ask for this one. Enjoy.

Think this was a contribution from @zhwj. Note extra-simplified character. 

In which province was this photo likely taken? (Think carefully - not as obvious as you might think)

I didn't used to like getting my hair cut. Hated getting it cut in Chinese. 

What is this for, and how long does it take to work?

I live next door to an elementary school, and walk past it's side gate pretty much every day. Last week was nice and quiet as the kids were still on holiday. But they're back now.

Spotted this little etching which mysterious appeared right next to the school gate a few days ago…

During my annual adventure into the Chinese outback for Spring Festival I decided to keep myself occupied by going on a search for the most unique 春聯 in the neighborhood. We went to 百年 in an unfamiliar part of town on the last day and I came across this old house. Pasted in the middle is a tiny, but proud brand new 2018 year of the dog calendar. After coming across an endless number of free brand advert 春聯, this was a bold and refreshing thing to see. Happy Year of the Dog to all.

What is this, and what is it for?

I wonder if they ever measured the impact this kind of stuff had. 

Which 佳节 is most likely referred to in this photo?

I may have posted this before, so apologies if so...

What is this, and where was it made?

Well, if you're going to be a crab, be an adventurous crab.

Chai Dynasty Beijing. I liked that the paint matched.

In which city was this photo taken?

No recollection of taking this one. It might be Guilin, or it might be a contribution. 

Following on from last week, still on the theme of noise.

Where are you not allowed to sound your horn?

I soon got bored of framing photos to point out people ignoring signs.
