CHINA — "A Technicolor Rorschach"

I never expect to fully understand a country’s culture after a single visit. But after researching and traveling through China, I’m left more confused and with more questions than ever before. China is ancient, massive, and seemingly full of contradictions. Along our way we experienced delight and disgust; serenity and chaos; helpers and hustlers; and after countless chicken feet, we never once found a chicken breast. It’s been six years since our trip and here I sit, still struggling to articulate insights from the experience. China is like a Rorschach Ink Blot and it’s with American red, white, and blue paint that I see her.
