I'm going to need a few days to un-jet lag, catch up. Taking a quick read of stuff, damn some other agency using a name too close to mine. Of course some busts too.
By the way, it's more hot and humid in China, Korea and Hong Kong than DC Sleep time.
I'm perfectly happy with the one Asian I do have. Although after this 20 plus day trip I finally get the whole Asian bride thing. It has less to do with the stereotype of "submissive" women and more to do with "femininity" on a broader scale. At some point I may blog about my observations.
As for Communist China, we should be worried. They are seriously grasping the concept of "capitalism" and thanks to our near sighted politicians, they will be taking us to school real soon!
Even when I first went to China 15 years ago, communism was no more than an official reality that even government officials had to occasionally remind themselves that they were supposed to believe. China is the Wild West of capitalism but with a collective dictatorship of something they still call the Communist Party for old times' sake. There is much to admire about China, but even Chinese government officials will tell you that there are very big problems (in private of course).
I love East Asian women, and I agree on the incredible attractiveness of their femininity. However, mainland Chinese women seem different from that to me. What I most like about Chinese ladies is that they had this upfront and in-your-face style that made them seem more like Americans or Australians. If you ask some lovely ladies in Thailand or Japan what they think about something personal, they will give you a very sweet answer that is what they think you want to hear. Beijing ladies aren't quite New Yorkers, but they are at least on par with average Americans in that regard.
