Hi There

How long were you gone and what changed the most?

20 years, there were no building over 10 stories tall. Probably like 10 restaurants in the entirecity. The highest number of school i remember is 4. Oh yeah there were no crimes, we never lock our doors and we know all our neighbors.

20 days here is like 20 years elsewhere. Seriously, there is some kind of number assigned to how quickly a country changes. I saw the data the other day. China ranks as the fastest changing country on earth. Makes the head spin.

I guess if there is no change there is no progress. Some changes are good but others are bad. Where do all you guys live right?

Florida ;)

Happily in Zhuhai.

Here's a good article, razorsedge, that says a lot about the changes in China during the last 20-30 years.

Aha! Found the other article I mentioned earlier. Now blocked, naturally. Some things NEVER change...

I read the Time story. It’s interesting stuff. I’m surprised that its still accessable.
The anonymouse proxy does not work for me. When I try to use it, I get the green “child protection” screen from CT. Try these to stories. I don’t know how long they will stay open.
