One of the best times of my life. I lived permanentaly at world trade, beijing, and spent a lot of time in hk and different provinces (hunan, mostly). The people are what make it wonderful. Everyone is so polite and good-natured. They also have a work ethic second to none (I was in rome before china and boy is there a difference!!). Never saw shang hai, but did all the touristy things : great wall, summer palace, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden city, teracota soldiers. I want to take the family there soon as my daughter is a little older. Anyway, I'm a sucker for markets abroad (i don't like saying 3rd world countries, but you know what I mean) for all the amazing bargains, so picked up badges, stamps, even a couple of rolexes that turned out to be real.
