Media

For any readers still making their way to this little place...I've yet to decide what the future will hold, but I would not say an occasional return would be without reward. In time there will be more photos from my time in China--film that I'm just now developing and printing. I might also find occasion to reflect on my time in China, or at least share with you some new finds that somehow pertain to my experiences recorded in this blog. This is one such occasion.

In the post China: The Musical I briefly described Beijing's exploding performance for the Chinese New Year. Jeremy, the director of my school in Hangzhou captured a similar experience there on camera--which I hope will give you some idea of what it was like. Keep in mind--that's all shot up from your average comrade.

In other news, I've come across a NYTimes article about Kunming called China Lite which describes it as a bastion of counter-culture that possesses a laid-back atmosphere not found elsewhere in the People's Lovely Republic. The places and events described in the article pretty much describe my life this summer.
