Kristin and I just returned from China. We had a fantastic trip.

The culture is unique. Definitely 3 distinct personalities of cities and their people when comparing Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. I really wish I had read more about Chinese history before visiting. The socio-economic and socio-political changes the resulted in the People's Revolution (plus the 2 revolutions immediately before and the Cultural Revolution that followed) would have been insightful. A short history is available at http://www.asterius.com/china/

Come on, John. Time to order your books on eBay Express. I've moved my DVD purchases over there lately, and I'm amazed at how quickly I'm getting the packages delivered.

If you want used books, I'm surprised you haven't been using Half.com. Try them both, and I'd appreciate the feedback.
