The China Blog

One Last Photo from the Window
Austin Ramzy Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:33:51 -0000
In keeping with a China Blog tradition, I'll sign off with a photo from the bureau window. Only this time there's no snarl of cars to be seen. Amazing how a few tanks (they're practicing today for the Oct. 1 National Day parade) can clear out traffic.

A Beijing-style Variety Store
Austin Ramzy Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:09:19 -0000
Small shops in China can change their operations with remarkable frequency. In a matter of weeks this summer I've witnessed a storefront near my home in Beijing's Dongsi area transform from the mundane to the salacious.
