Bush to Visit China

Sigh! I think it's a good thing that Mr. Hu and Mr. Bush will have a sitdown. And it's always a great boost to our image abroad when the President visits another country (save perhaps France). Anyway, Drudge is reporting that the President has accepted an invitation to visit China the 3rd week in November...just about the time I'm scheduled to head over for my vacation. He likely won't stay long, but the thought of major sites being closed for his visit - the Imperial Palace, the Great Wall (at Badaling) is enough to send shivers up my spine...

Ok, I'll live, I guess. I mean, poor me, I'm still going to China...
