Outside of Xi'an lies Huashan, one of the most famous mountains in China and the subject of a great deal of Chinese art and literature. Climbing Huashan is a part of Chinese culture and a highlight in the lives of many Chinese people; of course Mr. Gao decided that we should have this Chinese cultural experience too. Check back tomorrow for the details of our incredible mountain-climbing expedition. In the mean time, we're off to Macau to see the former Portuguese colony, which is now a Chinese vacation destination and gamblers' paradise that has been called the "Chinese Las Vegas". Mr. Green, what percentage of the endowment are we authorized to bet at the mahjong tables? (Don't worry, I'm very good.)
[Editor's Note: We're not really going gambling; they have historical and cultural sights too. I really could have run up the endowment, though...]
