I’m in China. Beijing reminds me a lot of Hong Hong, Kuala Lumpur & every Chinatown I’ve ever visited. There’s a mix of high-tech billboards and people on bicycles. Old, weed-sprouting roofs on houses hidden behind grey, tile-topped walls. 1970s residential highrises with air conditioners on the outside of each window. Upscale boutiques. Teeming millions. Kanji that’s not quite the same as back home.

A nice treat: we got upgraded to a “Cyberroom” at the Crowne Plaza so I’ll keep up with ‘Blog & mail for a few more days. Posted by kuri at July 27, 2001 05:36 PM
