Adventures in China
(as of 12/26/2000)
This fall, after seven years of service as a professor of Computer Science at SFSU my husband was awarded the luxury of a well-earned sabbatical. It was in our minds to use some of this time to explore China. At one point, when all sabbaticals seemed to be at risk, I threw out at a faculty event, “Well, we’ve already put down money for our China tickets.” Si was aghast, it seemed he was now committed. Coincidentally, his Tui-Na (acupressure) doctor, Gordon Xu – who keeps him healthy! – was planning a 3-week tour in the right time slot. To our joy, Karen and Jon agreed to join us. Also our good friends, Meadow (Nanci) and Jim Sears decided to come. A nucleus! Archie MacPhail, a Tai Chi classmate, and Wendy Gee and Lillian Wong, two savvy San Francisco sisters, approached Gordon to complete our group. We put together our ideal tour - spectacular scenery, Chinese healing arts (in Yichun, a country village), balanced by temples, museums, palaces, shopping, and 4-star hotels in major cities.
