China Thoughts + Food + Translations
China was a fun trip, it was fun to travel with my dad and finally see my brother and his city :). Next time I hope to see more of the countryside, and I’d love to travel along the historic silk road.
The big thing that struck me is the incredible growth, and how well managed it has been over such a long period. It is not perfect by any measure but when I look at all the places I’ve visited none of them are even close to managing such incredible growth so well. I hope that continues.
And, because of that, there is a real feeling of hope and optimism about the future that is awesome to see/feel. I might feel that in the presence of entrepreneurs or the tech community in the USA, but I don’t get that impression from most Americans. I am looking forward to seeing what the next 20 year holds as China grows. I do not see it as a zero sum game, and I think long term it will benefit the entire world.

Here are some of my favourite Chinese to English translations… I love these as they are so beautiful, and poetic.
“The mountain is evaluating your quality as you are appreciating its beauty.”
“Experience the history of the treasures and feel the passing of time.”
“Civilized sightseeing is advocated in Mt. Huangsi.”
“Leave behind your virtue and you’ll leave with the memory.”
“The mountain is inspecting your behaviour while you are apprecating its beauty.”
