You've been very busy soaking up the culture! <br /><br />Thank you for letting the rest of us tag along with you on your travels through this blog! <br /><br />Imagine, if you had to write letters? You'd probably be home before they ever made it here! (okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point.)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328970869069471833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719109049870523225.post-50757781091303135152009-08-28T01:22:14.662+08:002009-08-28T01:22:14.662+08:00Nice blog, man!

How about the Pepsi and CocaCola streets!! <br />I remember feeling as you did about the number (and sizes) of the American fast food restaurants. Guess with 18 million people, they need bigger/more.

Lengthy...Wow, what a "tasty" blog entry! Lengthy, informative, detailed and amazing! Love the chronological description of "a day in the life of expat Gao Jian" and how you keep bringing things back to a Chinese focus rather than English. You've got a good eye for images and nose for adventure. You are packing an incredible amount of activity (and food--the fish decision was a good one from the looks of it!) into your first few days. Easy on the feet! Maybe you should look for some ancient Chinese remedy (or acupuncture, or foot masseuse!) Happy trails (and entrails, if you go that culinary route!) - Love, DadTom Gillnoreply@blogger.com
