There is internet, but...

It is very difficult to write a brief post when there is so much happening, so for now, that will have to do.

Oh, and briefly: last night, I stood on a safe perimeter around a sprawling courtyard with a fountain gushing from the middle, watching an unrelated mass of Chinese people have an enormous water fight. Think crowds of strangers heaving plastic scoops of water at each other from shoulder-high vats. Think cheesy dance music in the background, and flashing laser lights. Think the apocalypse, but with water, and more amiable.

Zhen de te bie, I thought to myself, because, another thing - being in China is starting to make me think in Chinese, too.

Off to Shanghai.
