pretty small sample size Not just Yiwu. Learned a lot about China during the SARS scare. Lots of Chinese people blogging, even more Westerners living in China and blogging. Chinese people are human and therefore comprehensible for the most part. But I still find China baffling. Almost, but not quite, as baffling as Japan. Check out Bill Murray's new movie, Lost in Translation. Americans are universally baffled by Japan. Must be nice to be able to comprehend many cultures. Even nicer to comprehend many currencies. P.S. Right now I am attempting to comprehend why the Muslims still go to Mecca and pray to the Ka'aba, a black rock, just as they did in the days of polytheism. And why the Muslim symbol is a crescent moon. Both seem very inconsistent with monotheism, but my own church has a lot of polytheistic images, as well. Baffling.
