Can't say as Jan & I much cared for the busy, rushed, ultra-urban Guangzhou Metropolis, but we were at a nice hotel (The Garden, where the U.S. Consulate is) and every round-table, lecture, and academic visit was first rate in terms of planning, audience prep/participation, and friendliness. Guangzhou felt like NYC though, where everyone you deal with at a hotel or restaurant or store etc tries to chisel a little extra money out of you. The city art museum was excellent--check out the work of political cartoonist Liao Bing-Xiong if you get a chance.

Thinking of you lost somewhere in China is upsetting. But your resourcefulness and inner strength will get you through . This had better well count as your 2 lectures! Thank goodness for Frannie. A random English speaking Chinese lady sounds like a stroke of good luck in the whole mess! <br />JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
