In China!

Seek knowledge, even unto China. I grew up with this edict, words spoken by the Prophet Muhammad a long time ago in the 7th century. I loved the idea – not only because of China’s geographic distance and the arduous challenge of setting foot on its shores, or the wisdom of celebrating China’s achievements in literature, philosophy, government, medicine, paper making (and what it meant for writing and publishing) and much more, but also because I admire the push, the urge to expand one’s horizons, to go forth and meet the unknown, and be transformed by it. Well, here I am, finally. Can’t wait to get started 🙂
