I had originally planned to go to Chengdu but the plan was changed after the earthquake. I was in Nanjing for three days before arriving here, and it would have been great if there hadn’t been icy rain and raw weather for three days in a row. What can you do?
For whatever reasons, I feel more relaxed in Hangzhou than any other place in China. It’s just so beautiful, a perfect place for drinking tea and just sitting back and enjoying the scenery. I was in Beijing and Shanghai for a week, and it was anything but relaxing, just one interview after another. (If you’d like to see my interview with Xinhua News in Beijing from a few days ago, go here. That’s part one, with the second part to follow next week.)
This was a business trip, not recreation. Next time I go to China I promise to put up more posts about the trip.

Hangzhou is indeed beautiful. Sipping tea at West Lake. What a better way to relax.

Last time I was there (nine years ago, agghhh!) it was roasting hot. Lived in Nanjing three years and it’s a city I like, but the weather there is not one of its better points.
