On the road again

America's National Public Radio has a series following a reporter's 2 week trek across China. The journey on route 312 starts in Shanghai, then through rural and significantly poorer Anhui and then a report on the re-emergence of both prostitution and religion in China. It sounds like it would be great to listen to, but I'm not paying $4.95 per transcript to find out what he's got to say. Nevertheless I'd recommend it to any American readers as an insight into life in China. If any readers are able to somehow get a copy of the series I would like to hear it.

His report from Anhui today was magnificent. Can't you listen to it from the NPR site?

Firewalls and being in HK preclude it.

Give it a try when you get home. I had no problems from Hong Kong.

It's because of the firewall at work - I'll try if I get time over the weekend.

As you will see I inadvertently posted my comment on this item in your post of your "potential" helper.

This only bolsters the fact that I am nowhere near as smart as you.

Cheers.
