The commute, the rain

Im heading back to Shanghai from New York tomorrow. It is forecast to be rainy and thunder stormy for 8 days. Shanghai in the summer will never be mistaken for Paris in Spring.

Theres a lot happening in the China, China, China news/noise machine these days. You would be hard pressed to find too many newspapers, weeklies, web sites, etc. that dont run a China-something related story on a daily basis. Think Im kidding? make China one of your Google alerts like I did.

In a way I get paid to read all of it and its enlightening and mind numbing at the same time (many grains of salt needed).

Reverse-merger racket blowing up, a small Chinese ratings agency downgrading US debt, inflation, rail accidents, getting closer to transition of power, the world longest bridge, how will China react to a US recession and a runaway European debt crisis

There is a lot to read and think about regarding China. Read and think wisely (present company included). Ill be posting from Shanghai.
