... elderly lady managed to snag the middle seat of the front GA row. She could not be any happier or prouder of her accomplishment. I thought after a hard day of climbing and a heavy dinner I would fall asleep; however the performances were so captivating that falling asleep was never a problem. There was no plot line (good thing since I would not have understood it) but a compilation of different scenes and with ...

... thinking of home, looking forward to our own home and bed. But I couldn't shake China from my mind. The people, the system, the beauties of nature, culture and man-made wonders all whirl around in my mind as I try to come to some conclusions about the place. ....................................... ..................... .......
