We are nearing our 4 plus hour bus ride and are approaching the City of Shijiazhuang ( pronounced she jez u wha )one of the fastest growing Cities in China. I agree there is building everywhere. Traffic looks like three times the traffic in NYC. We have a formal dinner tonight with Hebei Education Department. I could be meeting my colleague. Finally, I get to wear my suit I have been dragging along. It is all formal from this point forward. We will be involved in the entire education process of the Chinese.
Ed, it seems like you're having a wonderful time. I had the same reaction to the Great Wall. I was speechless and humbled. I see that you also had the same reaction I did to the population. I honestly don't think you can really understand the implications of China until you see what 1.4 billion people look like. It's simply astounding. Safe travels.
