Hi, Don!

The seaweed houses are mainly found in Weihai city, Shandong province which is in northeast of China.

Here are some photos of this kind of residence http://www.china-fpa.org/hpa2000/2000b/e-index2.htm

Thanks Dee

Got back from 3 days in London yesterday. Had a great time, but very tiring. Wewent to the Tower of London, building started in 1070. They keep the Crown Jewels there and has a fantastic history over the past 900 years. We went to 2 shows as well, Chicago and The Lion King. Have you heard of these. The Lion King is the best show I have ever seen.
The Seaweed houses are similar to some we have in Englad. Ours are called Thatched and the roof is made from Dried Reeds or Straw. They are usually old and often go on fire.
I will look at the web site with the pictures on and once again, thank you.

Don
