Welcome To China!

IMG_1071 Those are the words I say every time something doesn't go the way we think it should. Now, Ralph has started saying it too. But, a visit to any of the parks or restored "ancient towns" gives you another meaning to the phrase. The people here are very welcoming. Terribly curious, but welcoming. At least they stare with a smile. You can talk to just about anyone and expect to get a positive reaction. Even if they have no clue what you are saying, they will smile and grab their friends so they can look at you too. I am fond of the old men. I admire their silent strength. They lack the desolate look that many elderly in Western countries have.  One day, I hope to be able to understand the stories they tell.
