Before this week I was in Beijing and Shanghai for work. Just sad to be there one week after the quake. The mood in BJ was pretty sombre. The resonance of the horns at 228 brought traffic and citizen to a complete standstill for 3 min all as a form of mourning. Tiananmen Square was at half mast. restaurants at the Shi Sha Hai used candlelights to set off paper boats, and used it to outline the date of the tragedy. All forms of foreign entertainment were also stopped during the three day period. Chinese all around the world united to raise funds, and in our hearts, we pray for the victims.
