Oh my is right!!! China is fabulous and you will fall in love w/the people. They are so friendly and charming and often just stop and listen to your conversation just to hear the english Of all the places I have been...China charmed me the most and often I am home sick for the month I spent there.

Be sure and have lunch at the big cafeteria at the Xian Soldiers....and watch the noodle makers. Really cool!!! Plus the noodles are super.

Drink bottled water but then I do that in LA! [Smile]

If you are entertaining them they will be as fascinated by you as you are by them!!!

And oh...the skyline of Shanghai.....the most beautiful of any city I have yet to see in the world. Oh enjoy enjoy enjoy and let your heart be open!!
