[quote=APAULT,265031]Oh!  Someone actually reads what I write!    I like your synopsis, I wish people in the business meetings I used to attend could cut through to the essence like that.

I don't think you will notice the rich and poor situation very much, as the rich are  perhaps like westerners in their homeland.  Though if you get into the countryside you will notice peasants rather than farmers,

Vibrant, definitely.

Culturally rich and fascinating.... that didn't come from my posts, I don't find this especially so as so much has been lost, but many other members do. Jabarootoo does, I know.  Maybe I have travelled to too many countries, or to the wrong places in China!.  It is interesting at least, so come and decide for yourself: you will surely enjoy yourself.

Yes there are obese people, and many men with pot bellies, but nothing like the western countries.  This is a new phenomenon and nothing to do with western food, just an overindulgence in good Chinese food which in many areas has mnore oil in one dish than you would use in a week.

Have fun :)[/quote]
