Ted,
Hope you don't mind me enjoying both blogs, particularly the views and reviews. The hospital is too funny and the zoo is too sad. Despite your ability to pull back the curtain a bit I remain confused and uncertain about what China means to China even with Andrea's insightful commentaries.
Cheers and safe travels!
Karl
