Off to China

Well, I'm off to China tomorrow with my Lonely Planet Guide. Of the six my wife previewed, it seemed the best. However, it turns out it sometimes gets confiscated at the border. Apparently, the Chinese are mad that Taiwan is indicated as being separated from the main land by an international boundary.

To a non-Chinese, that seems odd. However consider if New England was shown as independent, and we thought that could actually happen. We did fight a civil war 145 years ago over a similar concept.

Still, I'm going to try to sneak the book in. It really is the best and seems to have the most information on the places we're going. I am however also taking a reserve book. I'll be back May 26. Posting during this period may be light.
