I took a short trip to China in May, I've put the pictures in the album. I really liked it there, much more natural beauty than I would have expected. The food was delicious. I knew something about real chinese food, so I think I picked my dishes well. Some people don't seem to enjoy the food in china, but I think that's because they try to order the same stuff they would get back in the west.
Shanghi was totally off-the-hook crazy. I've never seen a place in such an accelerated stage of growth. It's a unique place to be a tourist too, since you are both tourist and tourist attraction. People from China come to Shanghi as a vacation and since it is historically a western influenced city, one of the things they look for are westerners. My face, with an slightly ironic smile, adorns quite a few chinese photo albums now.
