Sitting in a restaurant
So I am in Salford, Northern England - home of Lowry and close to Old Trafford (Manchester United ...).
I am using wireless broadband, having just finished reading an article about Chinese "guanxi" in a scholarly journal, whilst drinking a quite fruity Woodbridge Chardonnay.
We really do live in a very privileged bubble of knowledge, communications and (available) time. And it is largely driven by our ability to read and share ideas.
Funny how you need to be in a restaurant to realise this.

Mick, you would do better to experience the guanxi than read about it...although the chardonnay may get you close.

Leave him alone, poor old Mick: he's only sharing a bit of happiness with us. Isn't that what blogs are for?

You are right - experience is key, both in understanding China and in drinking Chardonnay!
