Off to China soon

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

As you may be aware I’m heading off to Jinan (济南) in about 5 days. I’ll be there about 12 weeks. Afterwards I’ll be having a short holiday in Wuhan, Beijing and Singapore, visiting friends and buying a few books.

For a pessimistic look at what’s in store for me, see here.

For a map of where it is, which is really to show the Grand Canal of China route, see here.

I had no idea that baidu.com, China’s biggest search-engine (and most popular website) is listed on the U.S. stockmarket. It’s listed right now as $246.15 a share.
