Back to China
It’s been a whirlwind six weeks of travel throughout North America, but I’m finally back in Beijing and the weather is absolutely stunning, with blue skies, warm (82 F/28 C) weather.
And in those six weeks, the buildings have grown like bamboo - the two residential towers in Central Park have grown at least eight stories each, the Vantone Center has put the skin on its building, and high rise concrete skeleton the near the Bookworm cafe is getting its fittings after many long months of no activity.
If what they say is true - no construction allowed in Beijing after December 2007 because of pre-Olympics cleanup - the building frenzy will only get more crazy in the next year.
