I also enjoy the taxi cab reports. We visited Fujian in January to attend a friend’s wedding, our first time in China. As you reported in an earlier taxi post, we were treated wonderfully in the smallish villages we visited. I can understand why young people head to bigger places - I did the same back in the day. However, as an old guy, the quiet & sociable lifestyle of the villages seemed, well, attractive. Anyway, I hope you’ll tell us many more stories from your taxi rides.
hahaha this guy has a great understanding of 老上海 personalities, i hear stuff like this all the time from family members (family's been in shanghai since 1910-20s). awesome post!

I love your mini travelogues David with their snapshots of daily life. We know so little about the 'real life' of Chinese people, keep it up!
