Welcome to Chinaology

China. The word invokes fascination in some, and fear in others. But in the past decade, it conjures up another word - opportunity. Do you know that China's growth in 2004 was over 9 percent? That Shanghai's real estate is almost as expensive as New York? That thousands of North and South Americans, Europeans, Asians and Africans live, work and do business in and with China? Whether you are a student and want to study abroad, or are an experienced and well-educated executive wanting to expand your horizons, China holds promise for you. But if you know what you are doing. Doing business or finding work in China can be tricky, even daunting if you are not prepared. That is why I have put together this Web site. It gives you a thumbnail sketch of what China is all about. I have written articles and anecdotes and organized forums and e-mail lists for complete interactivity. Should you need more in-depth information, research, presentation or introduction to China, please read my services page to see what I can offer you. In About Me, you can read about my educational background and experience. There is so much information contained in this site, that I hope you bookmark it so that you can come back for more. Welcome!
