my chinese isn't what it used to be. so thanks to all the people who helped us find our way in the thick "fog", welcomed us warmly even though we could have been stalkers, and kept our bellies full of veggies.

to betsy and mike, ever the generous diplomats, even when we went beyond the 20 questions and made them late for their party. ps. nice jacket mike.

and to jeremy, avid juicer and adequate bowler, who took us to the volcano, and to cloud nine. we'll be back for a ride in the sidecar. also, we've decided to call you greg.
