So, one of my Chinese colleagues expressed interest in a print of one of the photos I took during my astrophotography course (the @bryanhansel one I took this summer) . My colleague arrived today and I gave him the photo to his delight.

He surprised me with gifting one of his landscape photos to me in turn.
