WHAT IS THE TRAVEL WRITING LIFE REALLY LIKE? IS IT AS GREAT AS PEOPLE THINK? I HOPE TO COME TO SOME CONCLUSIONS AS I SHARE MY TRIPS AND TRAVAILS.

China Sticks Like Glue

by Kent St. John on June 1, 2009


I hate wearing hats but this one I got in China feels different, more a piece of apparel or a statement. With the Tiananmen Square anniversary coming up all the news I really hear is China, it is everywhere. The protests were back in 1989. Politics, economy and travel seem to revolve around one fascinating piece of real estate. Even my reading choices are scooped up by the place; Oracle Bones by Peter Hessler has made time in airports fly by. One thing for sure, China sticks like glue, super glue in fact!

Looks like we were both reading "Oracle Bones" on the flight. Fine as the book is, I'd take a little less about China from Peter Hassler in exchange for more from you. More St. John "dumplings," please.
