Ilove reading the column in your magazine about Bill＇s adventures in China. Some of the stories the author narrates happened 20 years ago so it＇s interesting to read about the differences between the past and present appearance of the cities he writes about. It must be a challenging job as the nation is developing at such a fast rate that it＇s hard to keep up with the changes. But it is also reward- ing since it helps a person rediscover this major developing country through its great changes in the past decades. Nowadays foreigners can access information about China online and more and more people are choosing to visit this fascinating oriental country. I have read lots of travel books written by Chinese who tend to present readers a panorama of cities, including their history, scenic spots, culture and food. For a Westerner the most attractive insights may come from following a local guide, wandering through pedestrian streets or tasting street food while listening to their personal tales of the city.
