(narrating) Number one rule of surgery is limit exposure. Keep your hands clean, your incisions small, and your wounds covered. Number two rule of surgery is when rule number one stops working, try something else. Because sometimes you can't limit exposure, sometimes the injury is so bad you have to cut, and cut big.

It all seemed so innocent at the time. I wanted a slightly sexier bikini to wear over Fourth of July weekend. There was nothing terrible about my old suit-just that the bottoms were kind of matronly and made me feel pear shaped. Not the worst thing in the world, not the best either. So, last week, while surfing through the Urban Outfitters website, I came across a slinky, (but seemingly not totally skimpy) crochet style and I thought, "Now that is the bathing suit for me!" It looked so cute and appealing, in that 70s-lady-in-the-Tropics way. And it was on sale for only $30. How could things possibly go wrong? But then they did.
Things you don't think about before buying a crochet bikini (but from now on you should)
1. It stretches. And it is made of string and the string is the only thing between you and "Hey everyone on the beach, here are my breasts!"
This means that you spend a large part of your day a.) re-tying your top and b.) living in fear
2. It's hot. It's a little like wearing tiny butt and boob sweaters.
3. It collects things. How to explain this? Well, a crochet bikini is basically a lined net. So, say you spill a bit of suntan lotion on yourself and then it gets under the crochet part. It is gone forever. This also occurs with sand, hair, small shells.
4. It takes 15 hours to dry. That is an exaggeration, but not so far off. It's soggy. When you are wearing a crochet bikini, you are rarely unaware that you are wearing a fabric poorly suited to the task at hand. ALSO, when it gets wet, it stretches and basically you exit the ocean in a wet, stretched-out sweater.
As a style purchase, the whole thing is complete sadness for you (and your poor boyfriend who had to hear about the crochet bikini catastrophe the entire weekend).

Notes: *Webby* is a fantastic little website management system. It would be called a *content management system* if it were a bigger kid. But, it's just a runt with a special knack for transforming text. And that's really all it does - manages the legwork of turning text into something else, an *ASCII Alchemist* if you will. Webby works by combining the contents of a *page* with a *layout* to produce HTML. The layout contains everything common to all the pages - HTML headers, navigation menu, footer, etc. - and the page contains just the information for that page. You can use your favorite markup language to write your pages; Webby supports quite a few. Install Webby and try it out! Changes: == 0.9.4 / 2009-04-05 * 6 minor enhancements - Added a Maruku filter (thanks to Martyn Loughran) - Updated to version 0.8.0 of Blueprint css - Better handling of errors generated by filters - Modified how the editor is spawned when creating pages - URLs for index pages now have a trailing slash - Configuration options now have nice descriptions webby --options * 7 bug fixes - Fixed haml & sass option handling [Alex Brem] - Work around for a parsing bug in the rdiscount gem (markdown handling) - Editor launching now handles switches passed to the editor - When a page fails to render, it no longer writes an empty file to the output folder (thereby overwriting the last good page) - Pagination bug - Presentation slides were not being found when headers had attributes - The blog template now has all the CSS files

SportsNet - July 2012
London Olympics 2012: Team USA Basketball Crush Tunisia 110-63 After A Close First Half
Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Love scored 16 points apiece to lead the American men to a 110-63 victory over Tunisia in the Olympic basketball tournament on Tuesday.
Kevin Durant recorded 13 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for Team USA (2-0), while Russell Westbrook and James Harden totaled 11 and 10 points, respectively.
"We started slow in the first half, but we figured it out," Anthony said.
Makram Ben Romdhane paced Tunisia (0-2) with a game-high 22 points. Playing in its maiden Games, Tunisia grabbed its first-ever lead in Olympic competition when Amine Rzig drained a three-pointer after Kobe Bryant had opened the scoring with a shot from inside the paint.
Mourad El Mabrouk made two free throws to put Tunisia up 15-12 with 2:39 remaining in the first quarter, but the Americans countered with a 14-0 run that stretched into the second quarter. A Westbrook bucket capped the surge for a 26-15 lead.
Tunisia continue to show spirit, closing to within 35-30, but the talent disparity between the two clubs became evident when the Americans opened the second half on a 10-0 run to go up 56-33 on a Love free throw.
Ranking the 5 Best Defensive Players in the NFC West
The NFC West is quietly becoming one of the NFL's tougher divisions, thanks to a host of underrated defensive talent. Here are the top five defensive players, currently dominating in the NFC West:
5. Adrian Wilson, S, Arizona Cardinals
For a long time Adrian Wilson has been the best blitzing safety in the NFL. The rugged veteran can still pressure the passer, but he has become savvy and disciplined in coverage.
Since Ray Horton took over the Arizona Cardinals' defense and installed a multiple zone blitz scheme, Wilson has become more versatile. The 32-year-old remains the leader of a rapidly improving unit.
4. Chris Long, DE, St. Louis Rams
The St. Louis Rams may be mired at the bottom of the NFC West, but that's nothing to do with defensive end Chris Long. In the past two seasons, Long has finally lived up to his billing as the second overall pick in 2008.
The 6'3", 270-pounder has amassed 21.5 sacks in two years, including 13 in 2011. Long has a natural power that makes him a threat on the bull-rush.
Los Angeles Angels News: Is Mike Trout having "BEST" Rookie Season of All Time in 2012?
The 2012 Major League Baseball season has been a great one for stories. But the main story that hits the front page almost everyday is: What did Mike Trout do last night? Mike Trout, Center Fielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, is having one of the best rookie seasons in baseball history for a position player. How historic you ask? Well let me try to put it in perspective for you. Look at these great rookie seasons before him:
Ichiro Suzuki, Seattle Mariners RF 2001
Stats: .350/.381/.457, 8 HR, 69 RBI, 242 H, 127 R, 56 SB, 126 OPS+, Gold Glove, MVP, ROY
Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals 1B 2001
Stats: .329/.403/.610, 37 HR, 130 RBI, 47 2B, 112 R, 157 OPS+, 4th in MVP
Mike Piazza, Los Angeles Dodgers C 1993
Stats: .318/.370/.561, 35 HR, 112 RBI, 81 R, 153 OPS+, 9th in MVP
Ted Williams, Boston Red Sox RF 1939
Stats: .327/.436/.609, 31 HR, 145 RBI, 44 2B, 11 3B, 131 R, 160 OPS+, 4th in MVP
Manchester United: New Shirt Sponsor and IPO listing, so Why No Transfers?
Last week in China, Ferguson made a terse statement, obviously aimed at those fans critical of the lack of transfer action, that they were not "sitting on their bums, doing nothing". Yet after the announcements of the last few days. once again, actions speak louder than rhetoric. They may not be sitting on their bums, but they seem to be sitting on their hands.
Having just announced the signing of a new mega shirt sponsorship deal with Chevrolet that will net them almost £28m a year in revenue, they have now followed that up by announcing finally that they are listing up to 8.3 million Ordinary Shares at up to $20 a share. They will eventually list up to 20 million shares, thereby netting around $400m. At the same time, they are listing 2.5 million of their own family shares. It is anticipated that the Glazer family will make around $215 from the sale, further infuriating hard core Manchester United fans.
Boston Celtics News: Opening Day Of The Season Starts With A Bang As Celtics Face Off Against The Miami Heat
After the Celtics open their season with a must-watch matchup with the Miami Heat and old friend Ray Allen, it could take some time for the season to get truly interesting.
The Celtics visit Miami at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 30, where they will grit their teeth and watch the Heat's championship banner be raised to the rafters of American Airlines Arena. After that, the month of November includes one game against the rival Philadelphia 76ers, home and away dates with the new-look Brooklyn Nets and one home game each against the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder.
Those inter-conference contests might draw some extra TV viewers, but neither game will mean much in the season's big picture.
The season's first 17 games seem relatively easy for the Celtics. They feature three games against the Milwaukee Bucks, two games against the Washington Wizards, plus road games against the rebuilding Detroit Pistons, the drama-weary Orlando Magic and the Chicago Bulls, who lost Derrick Rose to a torn left ACL and dismantled their strong bench in the offseason. In addition, nine of the first 16 games are at home for the Celtics.

The Institute implemented the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers during 2013. They will be applied:
The previous Victorian standards may be used:
The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers have been given Ministerial approval for implementation by the Institute during 2013. These will be used by all Australian teacher registration and accreditation authorities.
There are seven standards within the domains of knowledge, practice and engagement.
Areas of focus articulate the practice expected for each standard. For each area of focus, descriptors articulate 4 levels of capability that teachers are able to demonstrate.
Initial Teacher Education programs approved by the Institute reference the Graduate Teacher standards. Teachers graduating from these courses have reached Graduate Teacher capability and this is a requirement for registration with the Institute.
Provisionally registered teachers are required to demonstrate capability at the Proficient Teacher level to become fully registered. Teachers with full registration are required to maintain the standards at the Proficient Teacher level through the renewal of registration process.

These are my five favorite days of the year in sports:
5: The first Saturday in December. This has quickly become the best day for college football, with as many as five different conference championship games having an impact on the national championship. With a four team playoff happening after the 2014 season, this day will only get better. I do wish, though, that North Carolina and Kentucky would renew their annual basketball game that was played on this day. That would make it enter my top three.
4. The final Sunday of the NFL regular season. Many football fans prefer week one, but there's a game on Thursday, and two on Monday night to start the season. With as many as twelve or thirteen games having some sort of implication on the playoffs I prefer the final week. And more importantly, all sixteen games are played on Sunday. In fact, fifteen of them are played in a six hour span, with the final game being decided on Sunday night. If you're a fan of playoff scenarios, you can't beat it.
3. The first Thursday of the NCAA Tournament. This used to be my second favorite, but it's slipped a bit since the committee made the senseless decision to add four more teams over two extra days. This is still my favorite day of the tournament, with 16 games being played, but it felt bigger when it truly started the event. But I still love the upsets, the buzzer beaters, and the yearly excuses for getting out of work.
2. The third Sunday in January. The final four in basketball is a great day, and it would crack my top ten, but the final four in the NFL is better. In fact, it's my favorite day of the year for football. The two winners reach the Super Bowl, yet the pre-game shows don't last eight hours and there's no corporate feel. It's just football. And typically one or both of the games go down to the wire.
1. Today. Sunday at The Masters. More than eighty years ago, Bobby Jones dreamed of creating a place that would stage the greatest golf tournament in the world, hosted by people firmly committed to putting on an event that always strived for perfection. I'm amazed that he was able to carry out that dream, and that his mission is just as strong today. The condition of the course, the treatment from club members, the reasonably priced food and merchandise, and the greatest golfers in the world battling for a green jacket makes this the best day of the year in sports. If you've been here to experience it, chances are that you agree. If you've never been, you must cross it off of your list.

More Information
Allen Parsons interim publisher of Herald-Tribune
Published: Monday, June 11, 2012 at 6:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 11, 2012 at 6:13 p.m.
In a publishing career that has taken him from California to Florida to the Carolinas, Allen Parsons has a strong connection with Sarasota.
Parsons, who will become interim publisher of the Herald-Tribune on July 1, was managing editor in Sarasota from 1990 to 1994. His boss was then-Executive Editor Diane McFarlin, who announced Monday that she was stepping down as Herald-Tribune publisher to become dean of the College of Journalism and Communications at the University of Florida.
Parsons' son still lives in the region — he is a Sarasota County planner — and four of Allen Parsons' grandchildren attend Sarasota public schools.
"I love it here," Parsons said of Sarasota. "It still has a big hold on my heart. I mean that about Sarasota and the Herald-Tribune."
Parson left Sarasota for the Santa Barbara News Press in California, where he was editor and then publisher. In 2000, he became editor and associate publisher at the Star-News in Wilmington, N.C., then became publisher of the Ocala Star-Banner in Florida. Parsons retired in April after six years as publisher in Ocala.
Parsons, a Vietnam veteran, has been married for 45 years to Bonnie Parsons, a geriatric nurse practitioner who once worked at Sarasota Memorial Hospital and now is employed at Hospice of Marion County.
Parson will be in Sarasota until a permanent successor is named. Michael Redding, chief executive of Halifax Media Group, the Daytona Beach-based company that owns the Herald-Tribune, said he would conduct a national search and a successor could be named by the fourth quarter.

Intergarrison Road Opening? (self.csumb)
submitted 9 months ago by macjunkie
anyone know when intergarrison will open through to reservation? Looks like its really close.
[–]WhatWhatInThePutt 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
There were a ton of cars cruising through this morning. Maybe its already open?
[–]macjunkie[S] 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
was driving over around the new housing at lunch and its still fenced off :( talked to someone on campus and they said prolly around sept
Weird. I had to wait for 20 cars to come that way this morning.
[–]Tokacheif 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
That is an awesome username.

Thanks, GT.
[–]Tokacheif 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Knew it.
[–]winlock 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Those of us that live on Schoonover and walk, run and bike along Intergarrison are so looking forward to the increase in traffic. Can't flippin' wait.
[–]macjunkie[S] 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
I think theres another traffic now to make me feel like i'm taking my life into my hands biking on schoonover or intergarrison... have also been clipped in my car, and hit trying to cross the street by the buses speeding through schoonover and have been hit by a car on intergarrison
I hope over the summer they really look at how this may alleviate a little of the traffic issues on Imjin yet create huge issues between Schoonover and campus. Most of the traffic is turning left from Intergarrison onto 8th Avenue to avoid the speed humps on 7th. More than a few times I've seen near misses as people almost rear-end each other when someone has to stop due to oncoming traffic.
I may have to rethink my riding my bicycle to work when they open this. One thing they could do to help would be to put bumps on the right line so you can hear when someone is crossing over onto the bike path from behind. That would be proactive of them and well I've yet to see anything in this area be proactive.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 2:30 p.m. Monday, June 4, 2012
My first event as an intern at WPXI was Bike Night at the Hard Rock Café in Station Square. Not only did hundreds of motorcyclists show up for the event, but the Clarks played a few tunes on an outside stage. Also, Star 100.7 gave away a trip for two to London inside the restaurant.
Intern Alyssa and I went down to Station Square and first snapped a few photos of guests rolling in on each of their unique motorcycles. From Harleys to Kawasakis, there was quite a variety of unique two-wheelers. The Pirate Parrot even came to the event, on a bike of his own. He invited Alyssa to hop on the back of his motorcycle for a ride.
I was surprised at the huge turnout for the event. It was a cool sight to see hundreds of bikes lining the street at Station Square. It was also funny to see how eager rugged, tough-looking bikers were to get their picture taken.
We then went inside the Hard Rock as Bubba from the Star 100.7 morning show was giving away a trip for two to London, England for a four-day, three-night stay. The package also included tickets to a concert featuring Bruce Springstein.
More than 50 winners from a radio contest were able to come down to the Hard Rock and pick a key from a jar. Some of these keys were able to open a chest, which contained the grand prize. Only 5 of the 55 keys picked could open the chest. Inside there were five wrapped boxes, each containing different prizes, including Pirates and Colbie Collait tickets. Only one box however, contained the grand prize of the London trip.
After the five people with the correct keys picked their boxes, it was time to get the winner. The winner of the grand prize was definitely excited to be going to London. He jumped up and down on stage for five minutes like a little kid on Christmas, but rightfully so! It was an awesome giveaway, and I really liked the way in which Star gave away the trip, with the keys and the chest. Bubba was very entertaining as well as a host.
Finally, Alyssa and I went outside where the Clarks were playing. They were playing some of their own hits as well as some Rock classics, as bikers and other people who had come down to enjoy the outdoor event listened.
Overall it was a great event to kick off the summer, and Alyssa and I had a good time taking pictures and interacting with the bikers! I have lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and never really took advantage of going to events like this in the area. I look forward to going to more!

Growing Tea
The use of tea leaves in an infusion was widespread long before it made its way to the West and long before it became the focus of scientific study, taking on significant political and economical importance for the countries involved in its trade. Prescribed by apothecaries and used in temples during sessions of meditation, it helped to inspire artists, poets, potters, and travelled with the caravans to the remotest regions of Asia.
The tea bush, or Camellia sinensis, belongs to the genus Camellia family and is divided into three principal varieties: Camellia sinensis var. assamica, C. sinensis var. sinensis and C. sinensis var. cambodiensis.

Bobbie Smith: The Signature Voice of The Spinners
Posted By Patrick Kiger On March 29, 2013 @ 4:22 pm In Legacy | Comments Disabled
When a silky smooth tenor named Bobbie Smith, who died on March 16 at age 76 [1] in Orlando, and three of his friends from Ferndale High in Detroit decided to form an R&B singing group in 1956, they initially called themselves the Domingoes, but ditched that name because others found it too difficult to spell.
[2]Instead, at the suggestion of Smith, a lifelong car buff, they began calling themselves The Spinners, [3] a name that referred to high-end hubcaps. That would prove to be an apt choice, because the Spinners' precise harmonies and upbeat, feel-good ambiance made them a great group to listen to in the mid-1970s, when you were driving to the beach with your buddies in a Pontiac Grand Am with the windows rolled down and the summer sun streaming in.
Get in on the discussion: One Hit Wonders — Which is your favorite? [4]
But just as they'd changed their name, the Spinners had tinkered with their sound to get that effect. After spending the 1960s at Motown [5], churning out competent but unremarkable R&B without a breakthrough success, they took their friend Aretha Franklin' [6]s suggestion and jumped to Atlantic Records in 1972. There, they began working with Thom Bell, the king of Philadelphia Soul — a brighter, bouncier sound than Motown [7] that made heavy use of horns and string sections. Under his influence, the Spinners were recast as a sunnier, less troubled, not as overtly erotic analog of their Detroit contemporaries, the Temptations [8], and soared to the top of the pop charts.
One of the key ingredients of their success was Smith, the co-lead with Philippé Wynne. Despite his considerable talent, Smith never became the sort of prima donna that led other Detroit groups to ruin. As Henry Fambrough, the Spinners' sole surviving original member, told the Detroit Free Press: [9] "Bobby was a regular, down-to-earth, good-natured person, the kind of guy who'd give you his shirt. And ever since I've known him, he was just a natural showman."
Here are five of the songs that exemplified Smith's and the Spinners' sound, and the stories behind them:

Realism and Modernism
The novel as a genre has been closely identified with the act of representation. What it means to represent "reality," however, has varied widely. This seminar will explore how the representation of reality changes as modern fiction questions the assumptions about knowing, language, and society that defined the great tradition of realism. English and American novels will be the primary focus of our attention, but influential French, German, and Russian works will be studied as well. Limited to 20 first-year students.

Interest rates expected to be held at 0.5 per cent
Monitary Policy Committee votes for a hold, with Mervyn King expected to follow.
by Liam McLaughlin Published
A freeze in interest rates, at 0.5 per cent, is expected to be announced by the Bank of England next week.
This comes despite an inflation rise of around 4 per cent over the past year. Some Monitary Policy Committee members have argued that a rise in interest rates is needed to deal with the inflation.
However, though an increase in manufacturing and exports revenues reduced the trade in goods shortfall to £7.1bn in January, it is still possible that a rise in interest rates could potentially lead to a period of stagnation in the economy due to its fragile state.
After the government cuts are made in April, a rise in interest rates is expected by much of the City for May.

ROSE Blog Interviews: Sharon Moreland, Technology Consultant at the Northeast Kansas Library System
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
In this interview, Sharon Moreland explains a few ways libraries in Kansas are using open source.
Q: Who are you?
A: Sharon Moreland. Technology Consultant at the Northeast Kansas Library System. I work closely with the NExpress Shared Catalog team to migrate public libraries into the Koha automated catalog, as well as to troubleshoot and maintain the catalog. Prior to coming to the Library System, I was a small town public library director.
Q: What do you currently do in open source? What do you love about it?
A: At NEKLS, we administer a statewide project, My Kansas Library on the Web, that uses WordPress to provide small- and medium-sized libraries with professional-looking websites. I also serve as chair for the statewide Kanguard Internet filtering program that uses the open source SquidGuard program. Finally, we migrated the NExpress Shared Catalog from the Sirsi Integrated Library System to Koha in August 2008 and by early 2010 we will have more than 30 libraries participating.
WordPress has a very robust community, with extensive documentation and training materials available, as well as an aggressive upgrade cycle that responds almost immediately to any problems or bugs found in the software. Everything in open source is created by members of the community, for other members of the community. Some projects, like Mozilla Firefox, are huge, while others are quite small, as with Koha. Given its small size, we are able to be more active in the Koha community, thanks in part to meeting many of the key players at the 2009 KohaCon in Plano, Texas.
Here at NEKLS, we can thank our System Administrator, Liz Rea, for slowly introducing us to most of these open source solutions and since we met everyone at KohaCon, she has gone on to become a Koha Committer, providing code to the project. The sense of community and cooperation has been affirming, especially as the open source philosophy fits so well with the librarianship.
Q: You're speaking to a group of women from other fields who are considering switching careers. Why should they consider moving into an open source-related career? What should they know about the open source environment to prepare them for the transition from a different field?
A: As a creative problem solver, I love the challenge of making an open source solution better by suggesting ideas to the community, pin-pointing issues with the program, or better yet – learning to write the code needed to create the change you want to see. Koha is a smaller community, so we see a great impact. WordPress is a much larger community, but the product is excellent and people are able to create consulting businesses around supporting and training on the project. With any open source project, change is the only constant. If the community is doing its job, the project is in a continuous state of flux, improvement, enhancement, and redesign. Anyone working with an open source project will need to be flexible and willing to embrace rapid change.
Q: You're speaking to a group of high school students (male and female). Why should they consider exploring career options in open source?
A: Many new business have sprung up around open source projects, such as Koha. There are several vendors that grew from the need to support and develop new code for libraries using Koha, such as LibLime and ByWater Solutions. A career in open source would be a carer with unlimited potential. Learn a few programming languages, like PERL, and the sky's the limit.
If you are a woman in open source, I'd love it if you'd take a moment to answer these interview questions and send your responses to me at rkite AT linuxpromagazine DOT com. If you'd like me to interview a particular woman in open source, drop me a line and let me know who she is and where to find her.

yay, liberries!
More and more libraries are seeing their budgets slashed or worse (Philly, as a horrific example). Moves to open source software can save lots of money and help show the city funders that there's a commitment to reducing cost as much as possible.

China Travel Tips
There are few countries in the world with a culture as distinct as China. A country of contrasts, China offers thriving cities in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, but also extremely rural areas in the center and western part of the country. This is a country stuck between the developed and developing world. Rapid change has attracted curious people from around the globe as they come to see what this country is really like.
Destination Guides
Typical Costs
- Accommodation: Prices start at around $6.50 USD for a dorm (but can be closer to $20 in Beijing) and around $10-20 USD (city dependent) for a private room with a shared bathroom, to $30 USD for a private room with ensuite. Budget hotels come in at around $15 USD per night.
- Food: Eating in nicer restaurants will cost around $7 USD. A simple meal of noodles or street food will cost around $1 USD. There is a ton of cheap and delicious food in China (which is nothing like what is found in "Chinese" restaurants in America) that you'll have no problem eating on a budget.
- Transportation: Taxi fares start between $1 and $2 USD. Buses are the most popular way to travel and usually cost $.25 – $.50 USD in a city. Intercountry buses cost around $3 USD per hour of travel.
- Activities: Certain activities such as the Great Wall ($7 USD) are pricey by local standards. However, wandering around the cities and visiting many of the historic temples are free.
Money Saving Tips
- Use sleeper trains - Use sleeper trains to travel overnight and save on accommodation.
- Ask for Xiao Pan – If eating alone, ask for "xiao pan". These are small portions and work out at 70% of the size and price of a normal dish.
- Hard Seats - Travel on the "hard seats" on trains or buses. These are the cheapest and most basic seats but are not "hard" as the name would lead you to believe.
Top Things to See and Do
- The Great Wall of China – No trip would be complete without visiting the Great Wall. There are plenty of tours taking in different parts of the Wall, so pick according to your budget and which part you most want to see. Some tours even offer multi-day packages visiting the whole wall.
- Tian'anmen Square – You've no doubt seen it in films and on TV, but it is hard to get an idea of the sheer size of this square until you're standing slap bang in the middle of it. There's plenty to see here including the Tiananmen Tower, the Great Hall of the People, the People's Heroes Monument, the National Museum and Mao Zedong. You aren't allowed to film or photograph in the square.
- Beijing - This fast-moving city has a population of 22 million and counting. Aside from Tian'anmen Square, you'll want to visit the Forbidden City, the countless shopping malls, the Temple of Heaven and, of course, the Great Wall.
- Hong Kong – Hong Kong effortlessly blends East and West, thanks in part to it being under British control for 99 years. This bustling metropolis combines high rise buildings with traditional street markets and religious temples. It also boasts a large expat population, good shopping, fantastic nightlife, and delicious food. It's one of my favorite cities in the world.
- Shanghai – Another one of China's largest, busiest, and most visited cities is Shanghai. This is a bustling, high-tech city that serves as the center of modern business infrastructure.
