Progress
May 15, 2007The suburb of Dalian that we live in, Kai Fa Qu, has undergone some remarkable changes since I moved here in August 2000. The population seems to have about doubled from 250,000 then to 500,000 now. In that time they have built a McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks and Alice tells me that they are currently constructing a Subway Sandwich shop as well. On the bad side of things we experience traffic jams now especially commuting to and from work. I wish a few of the folks that lived here way back then would come and visit just so I can see the changes through their eyes.

When I moved here this area (near the UFO - next photo) was a farming village. There is no sign now that ever existed.
