Standing Room Only

In China, church is no longer illegal, but it's still somewhat frowned on. A member of the Communist Party took us to church this past Sunday. I believe our visit gave this person an acceptable reason for going. There were several services; the one we attended was packed to overflowing. Those who could not be admitted sat in the courtyard on blue plastic stools and watched the proceedings on close-circuit television.

What does tomorrow mean? It is 5:30 pm here, but at home it’s 5:00 in the morning. I leave Weihai tomorrow and make a stop in Beijing. ...
