This is a blog about being in China right now. About watching this country go boom.
It's not about statistics or the amount of concrete being used. It's just about how people are living here, what people are building here, and how it feels. Wikipedia this ain't.
I'm starting off in Hong Kong, then heading up to Beijing for as long as they'll have me.
Oh, and the name of the blog comes from a brilliant American saying of the 19th century; when young people were urged to go out to the wild west, a land of opportunity, where anything was possible. The saying goes:
Go West, young man, and grow up with the country.
Today, it seems to me that the West is done: fat and tired and out of ideas.
Today, I think that quote should be:
Go East, young man, and grow up with the world.
