News China ... Just Like Us!
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, Sep 28, 2007 at 3:20 PM
Man, oh man! Little did I know after writing my first love letter to China a couple of days ago that even more wonderful news of our match-made-in-heaven would arrive via modern-day Cupid Matt Drudge. It's not just our common struggle with a bare-bones transit system, like Shanghai's — although I do hear their bus routes are pretty thorough.Turns out they're suffering a little bit of the water woes, too.
And for some reason, doesn't it seem like we could just swap names in the quote below and it would read like something you'd hear in Atlanta? From the article:
"We have a water shortage, but we have to develop," said Wang Yongli, a senior engineer with the city's water conservation bureau. "And development is going to be put first."
