I'm leaving this afternoon to head for Amsterdam, so I won't be posting any more China stories until I get back. I may, however, log on and post some stuff while there. We shall see.........care2003-05-02T14:16:51-08:00Poor Xi'an has only one McDonald's (but several KFCs)

This is the most frightening part: we walk for hours at a time and never get hungry. Whether it is the constant adrenaline rush from being out of our element or the body’s revolt against the jet lag to which...care2003-04-26T10:27:17-08:00Eating, Shopping, the Usual

16 May 2002: X went out on the street today while I was running on the treadmill. He said it was exhausting—the smells, the noise, the people trying to talk to him. His description made me apprehensive, but we went...care2003-04-20T09:45:30-08:00Ni Hao, Beijing

China has been getting a really bad rap these days. Yes, people are dying of a highly communicable disease with mysterious origins, but I had such a great time there last year (my first overseas trip ever) that I thought...care2003-04-19T10:28:25-08:00Tower Power
