As we were traveling, Galen danced around in various places throughout Western China, using the Pharrell William’s song Happy as his dancing music. Some of the shots are done in hotels, an abandoned banqueting hall, on the interstate when our bus got stopped for thirty minutes because the road between Urumqi and Turpan was inexplicably closed down. One of the shots is done just before we were detained by the People’s Armed Police in Subei, another shot is done in the desert near Dunhuang, near where the world’s oldest printed book was discovered. Some are even shot in Karakol, Kyrgyzstan and Almaty, Kazakhstan, places we have not gotten to yet on the blog.
