Your writing takes me there! I lived and worked in China from 1984-87 so I know of what you write. I am impressed that you rode a motorcycle. We rode Chinese bikes and got around pretty well locally, but took trains for longer trips. Our son was 2 years old when we arrived. Loved the photo of the locksmith holding the Golden Gate trinket! He was your golden gate or perhaps golden key!

Thank you, Anne. It must have been fascinating to be there in the mid-80s!
