		<title>Fallen Walls &amp; Fallen Towers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Adrienne wrote a book, relevant to this series of posts, which is out for the Kindle and will be released as a real book on 9/11/2010 (the date isn&#8217;t accidental).

		<title>Saturday 8/28 &#8211; Headed Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got up, worked out, and had my last Chinese breakfast at the very American Cafe Costa down the street. Then I took a taxi to the Maglev &#8211; very cool to go 300 km/hour, super-smooth and quiet.
Check-in and security were a breeze this time, and I was lucky enough to be upgraded, so I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday 8/27 &#8211; Shanghai &#8211; Meetings, Zhang Wei Hua, the Bund</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was my last day of meetings for this trip:

Zhang Wei Hua, General Manager of China Telcom Shanghai (a genuine big wig)
Yong Zhang, Cleantech Practice Partner at Qimming Venture Partners and an Eisenhower Fellowship candidate
Marc van der Chijs, Founder/CEO of SPIL Games Asia and a co-founder of Tudou.com, the Chinese YouTube.
Jim Curtis, Executive Director, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thursday 8/26 &#8211; Shanghai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Four meetings today plus a dinner, with a break in the middle (that&#8217;s how I got those last 2 posts done). Three were with entrepreneurs.
The first one was awesome: Zhang Tao, Founder and CEO of Dianping.com, essentially the Yelp of China.
Tao is a widely known and respected entrepreneur here with backing from Sequoia China. Reviews [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wednesday 8/25 &#8211; Shanghai Meetings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I&#8217;m still alive. Just extraordinarily busy, and trying to sleep enough to keep from getting sick.
I like Shanghai &#8211; it&#8217;s a lot like Manhattan, tighter downtown, smaller streets, more European, cleaner, and less polluted. English is prevalent and it&#8217;s easy to get around. There are tons of ex-pats. Charles had a family emergency, so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday 8/24 &#8211; Lhasa to Shanghai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke early, worked a bit, ate a quick breakfast and was on the road to the airport by 6:45a for a 9:00 flight. It felt very different leaving Tibet than it did arriving. Driving in, I was filled with eager anticipation. The two lane road from the airport to Lhasa &#8211; with one portion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monday 8/23 &#8211; Lhasa &#8211; Potala Palace, Tea, Sera Monastery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a good night&#8217;s sleep and a quick breakfast at the hotel, we set off for the Potala Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Palace was first built in 637 as a meditation retreat by the 33rd King of Tibet, Songtsan Gampo &#8211; the founder of the Tibetan Empire.  Then the Great Fifth Dalai [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunday 8/22 &#8211; Lhasa &#8211; Norbulingka, Barkhor, Tibetan Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I lay down to take a nap yesterday afternoon, fully intending to get up, wander around and have dinner. I didn&#8217;t wake up until 5:30 this morning!
I had breakfast at the hotel buffet, which was fine but didn&#8217;t hold a candle to the Hilton&#8217;s in Beijing. There are mostly American and European tourists here, of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saturday 8/21 &#8211; I&#8217;m in Tibet!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Skipping by everything I missed, here I am. I&#8217;ll catch up blogging over the next few days I hope (I had intended to go in order!). I want to capture this while it&#8217;s fresh.
It&#8217;s raining in Beijing today. I got up at 4:30 and was headed to the airport for a 6:55a flight. Good thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wednesday 8/18 &#8211; Meetings, Meetings, and More Meetings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke on Wednesday to a more typical day in Beijing. It had been blue skies for my first few days, but starting the day before, pollution had settled in. Before the Olympics, the government spent $17 billion to clean up the air, but it&#8217;s horrible again &#8211; it&#8217;s so bad that you can taste [...]]]></description>
