This country really is amazing, and I hope that you enjoy your time in Beijing. There is so much to explore and discover, as I'm sure you are noticing even after being here for just a week. Good thinking with bringing books with you. We should have brought more because the selection, as I have mentioned, is much smaller than I expected. Even Chiang Mai, Thailand had a better selection than Shanghai....but I'm also guessing that I just haven't found the right spot yet. There are way too many expats here for the lack of general reading. Welcome to China, Peggy!! This country really is amazing, and I hope that you enjoy your time in Beijing.

We have many of the same fears and interests, and watching your comfort level grow over time as you explore life around you has been very inspiring to me. Regarding bringing books into China - I've brought many of them with me. I was told, "nothing pornographic or religious," and everything else has been OK.

I've been thinking of sending you a book or two J, but was also wondering if they would confiscate any literature they didn't approve of. You know your birthday is coming up!! Let me know if there is a specific book you want. Good point Megan!

I guess it's all part of living in China!! I have never heard of restrictions of books being mailed here, but I’m pretty sure there are ones about what can be sold here or stocked on library shelves.
