What’s been happening:

In the last two and a half years I have been to China to visit friends. This past January through March I visited again. What a wonderful time. I stayed in Nanning, southern China, below Shanghai. If any of you have an interest in going to China-I recommend you do it. I have met many people-both Chinese, Australian, Canadian, German and Europeans. Yes! McDonald's is there, as well as KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut. However the Chinese food is super fantastic. Especially the home cooked food. One thing about China-the traffic is horrendous. Bicycles, motor scooters, cycles, taxis, buses, carts and of course over 1.4 billion people. They are very friendly people and love it when you know a little Chinese. Ni Hao-which is hello. Yes! The government is Communist, but for the most part the people are Christian and Buddhist. There are over fifty (50) varying dialects. Reward yourself with a vacation in China. You will not regret it!
