China is a crazy place right now. Beautiful, diverse, crowded, crazy, growing, huge. I compare touring China to trying to see as much as you can of the US for the first time, in 2 weeks. Try to imagine that. Beijing reminds me of NYC. Shanghai is some city unto it's own world. I've never seen anything like it. It was a really heady experience and a wonderful time. Thank you Michelle, and everyone else who made this happen, and all those who travelled in our group. Trip of a lifetime.
