The weather in China continues to be of major concern. There are now over 70 million people without power and hundreds of thousands stranded at train stations throughout the country.  It’s hard to comprehend the affect it is having on the country.

This is supposed to be one of the busiest travel weeks of the year as people who work in the major cities go home to celebrate with their families or take a vacation. Domestic travel is at a stand still in parts of the country with no way of knowing when it will be back up again. Snow and sleet is scheduled for the next three days, so it doesn’t look as if it will be getting better anytime soon.

From a personal perspective, international travel is still moving out of Shanghai Pudong airport, so I’m continuing with my plans to fly to Singapore on Saturday.

On a lighter note, I think there was something lost in the translation here. The water was only about 8 inches deep. “Paddling” would have been very difficult.
