My wife and I just got back last week from two weeks in Beijing and Shanghai. We loved it.

The food was outstanding -- there was both stuff that we would not touch with a 10 foot pole (pig's intestines, fish heads and the like) but there was plenty of yummy food (dumplings, Peking Duck, less exotic Chinese dishes, all types of US franchises and food from the West). And the people were great.

China is experiencing dramatic economic growth. It was exciting to see.

Last time I was in Shanghai, I got some great fish. I'm not a huge fan of fried food, but when I travel, I tell myself that only a super microbe could survive the deep fryer. Anyway, they took a white fish of some sort, somehow removed the skin and bones, but left the head and tail on (how?). It was breaded with spices and fried, and delicious! I need to ask one of my Chinese friends at work the name. I still have trouble with the tea leaves just floating around in the cup though. I swear I drink more of it than I should, the leaves that is. I'm always afraid a leaf is going to get stuck in my teeth when I'm with a client!
