China Changes Everything

On a business trip to China in 2006 I came across a sign in Shanghai that would make quite an impact on me. I initially found the phrasing quite humorous and laughed out loud about it with a colleague I was with. I snapped a photo, as I am known to do, so I could remember the moment. I soon realized this little sign in an out of the way corner of a far flung location was a particularly appropriate metaphor for so much of what I was feeling about everything from politics to my personal life. Sometimes profound changes can come from the most unexpected places. I don't know what will come of this blog, but I needed somewhere to collect the seemingly trivial observations that I don't want to loose to the depths of my questionable long term memory.
