Schlepping Around south and east China

The past couple of weeks has felt like a test run for the Olympic torch relay. My new companion is the Samsung Blackjack .. a life saver .. 3G with full Internet access (NO China Firewalls). The small screen has its limits .. but I can read blogs etc.On the plus side, travelling has provided access to many new tea resources, and time to meet up with long time friends.

Some highlights:
Matt is back in Australia.
Robin and Heather finish up in Hawaii tomorrow and head home.
Dave and I will be in Taipei next week.

I met my friend (Da Xia) and her family in WuXi .. (more on that later)
"How about a retail tea shop in Singapore?" ... !! That's the latest brainstorm.
