The reason that the blog has been so quiet is that I’ve been in China over the Thanksgiving break, visiting Taizhou, the home town of President Hu, in Jiangshu Province. It’s been an amazing trip – and very productive too. I met some really kind people who showed me how people live and work at all levels of society, from shiny new offices to tiny homes in the disintegrating old city.
I’ll write more about this adventure when I get back to the studio. There’s been a lot to think about and I need time to sort through the excitement.
