Quick Update & Hopefully Helpful Reflections on Going to China

We just returned from 10 days in China. I still haven't completely formulated all my thoughts on the experience. I'm thrilled to have seen some of the major sites, but man, China is weird. So much smog. So little sun. So much freaking spitting. So much traffic. So many … [Read more...]
