The dance of the ephermeral...
During my last week in China, I stayed with my father at the Shenzhen University hotel right in the middle of the campus. His company is doing a project with two faculty members there. For me, it was the ideal spot - in fact, I ended up becoming friends with two graduate students there who were as interested in my experiences and insights into Chinese culture as I was in theirs. Through them, I met other students who were in Shenzhen. In fact, I tried hooking up one girl who was studying English with one guy from Brown who is in Shenzhen this summer teaching English (I love thefacebook.com)

My last mean in Shenzhen was a Guandong hotpot. Well-known joke about the Cantonese obsession with food: Three space aliens land separately in Beijing, Shanghai and Guandong. In Beijing, they analyze and study it. In Shanghai, they sell it to the highest bidder. In Guandong, they argue over how to garnish it.
