Big Trip

Steve and I are traveling in China this week. We are spending time in Shanghai, ZhengZhou and Beijing.

So far, we have experienced a very cool temple in Shanghai, eaten soup with some kind of foot in it and bought dinner for seven people for a cost of about $11.

Next week, I should have plenty of pictures to share.

I am working on this trip. Governor Parkinson is speaking at a large forum on US China relations and also at a university in China's Henan Province. One interesting note: Henan Province (kind of like a state in the US) is considered more rural in China and the population is around 96 million I think.

This will definitely be a unique experience!
