First China Post: There will be No "China Blogging"

Sitting in beautiful Seattle-Tacoma airport, Mt. Rainier on the horizon, about to travel with a small group of extremely interesting water resource professionals, scientists, and engineers, and fresh with the realization: China does not allow posting to blogs hosted on blogspot.com. Ah information flow - one of the things we so easily take for granted.

There are options, ways around, and opportunities to email home for someone else to post here. And I'll try to do that. I'm already hearing exciting things about growth of nonprofit organizations and civil society influences in China. A great deal seems to be happening that is growing up from grassroots organizations - particularly in relation to water, and I look forward to sharing it here.

We'll depart at about 9pm tonight (Saturday) from Seattle, cross the International Date Line, and land Sunday night - about 11:30 pm in Beijing.

If the group has any common theme, it's that we're all fascinated with and excited to learn about China. May the learning begin.
