glad to see the us is not being soft. living over here i always like to read press about how we wont be bullied around. the latest article in the ft (sub needed) entitled "Chinese elite faces curbs on US visas" states at the end, "We cannot move forward if, when differences emerge, only one of us is fully committed and fully engaged,” he said." i could not agree more. over the past 3 years ive seen some of the most outrageous behaviour where compromise is not really an option. many people think it is the 'one child' rule which has created an entire country full of petulant brats who cannot share their toys. from where i sit, i think that is very true. it is frightening as well to think there is this gigantic country full of people who cannot get along, who wont negotiate if things dont go 100% their way, who will do god-only-knows-what when they throw their proverbial toys out of the pram.
stand strong us - despite what people say (and they say a lot), i am still proud and will be coming back to you soon...that is unless i am dragged away for this post...seriously, i shouldnt even joke...
and on a lighter, non-political note, it was a great 4 day weekend here with another 3-day'er coming up again this weekend so pictures soon :)
