Finally some pictures!!
Unfortunately he's only sent two so far. He has a much better internet connection at his current hotel, so he is planning on sending me a post for all of you to read soon. He arrived in Xi'an via an overnight train. He is really looking forward to seeing the Terra Cottta Warriors tomorrow. Hope to post more soon!
Greg at the Great Wall
Me and Mao
Fantastic!! You finally got to visit the Great Wall. I bet it was so cool. What a bummer thought, the fact that you couldn’t really see. Did you learn a lot about Mao? Are there things you didn’t know about him that you could share? I bet we all want to see more pictures and hear some more stories. I bet you wish you could speak Chinese too, so you can understand. Well tell us more ASAP.
ReplyDeleteI could talk about Mao for a LONG time. Mao is such an enigma. In spite of all the the terrible things he did, he is still greatly revered in China. When asked why, most people say, "Because he is the founded of modern China." Press them on the Cultural Revolution and Chinese will respond, "he was mostly good but made a few mistakes." Very few Chinese have ever heard of the Great Leap Forward as it is not taught in schools.
