Sweet and Sour Chinese Feast
Shanghai, Xi`an and Beijing China
May 18 - June 3, 2006

I spent an exciting seventeen days visiting China in the Spring of 2006. I had been invited to visit Xidian University in Xi`an. I used this as on opportunity to attend the International Conference on Software Engineering in Shanghai and to do a little sightseeing in Beijing. The results were lots of great food and some new friends mixed with a plethora of traffic, pollution and gift shops leaving an overall impression similar to the Sweet and Sour tastes I experienced in my many large meals.
