I've now been in China for almost a week--from Shanghai to Nanjing to Beijing. All connections, arrangements, and meetings have gone extrmely well. The weather has been hot--Atlanta style! In both Shanghai and Nanjing there was quite a bit of smog, but we can see the blue skies in Beijing.
The cities are modern, friendly, and busy with excellent infrastructure. We've met up with many incoming Emory students and alumni. And had some great sightseeing tours. Today alone we covered the Confucius Institute, a rickshaw tour, and the Forbidden City. It is inspiring to see so much history mixed with all of the modern technology and transportation systems. The high speed train from Shanghai to Nanjing was especially efficient and comfortable. All in all, a fabulous (if somewhat exhausting) trip.
