A Whole New World

You cannot listen to the news without hearing about China! With friends living in Beijing and Hong Kong, we took the opportunity to see China this fall. Our opportunity to stay with ex-pats, but also to stay with a Chinese family in Beijing gave us a sense of this country. An incredible modernization is underway with more large buildings and cranes than I have ever seen. The emergence of the middle class, building boom, a feeling of bustle and purpose... all qualities I can imagine must have been here in the United States following World War II.

From the ancient to the modern, we got a chance to see it first hand with our children. A whole new world stage that they will need to be comfortable on.... An eye opener and game changer for all of us!
