Well, I didn’t get sick all the time I was in China…I waited until I got home for that! As it turned out, I could use the meal vouchers ($20 total) from Northwest Airlines at the airport, so I had a big breakfast (I use the breakfast term loosely, as I had more Bar-B-Q from […]

OK, so Creedence Clearwater Revival was singing about Lodi, California. I had a bad day yesterday, as did everyone trying to get to Tallahassee on Northwest. I’m stuck in Memphis and they weren’t going to get me home until tomorrow!!! That’s two broken plane cancellations out of four legs on the journey…

Well, I promised a post this weekend with links to web sites in English that introduce Chinese culture. I’ve been so busy doing last minute shopping, packing and, I confess, watching American college football (i.e., not soccer), that I haven’t written this post yet.

Well, the tension is building. I just got over a couple of days in bed being sick. That’s going to put more stress on my job, since I have a few things I really have to get done before I leave. Now, it’s 3:00 in the morning and I’m wide awake. So, I guess […]

So much has been written about Beijing, especially about the tourist spots, that this should be a fairly short post. I’ll try to concentrate on the things I’ve run across that have not been beaten to death…
Shopping
I got this picture of Wangfujing from Ian and Wendy’s travelogue site .
