.....for two weeks of training with the Fujian Shi-Hua Transport Company in the port industrial city of Fuzhou--almost directly across the East China Sea from Taipei, Taiwan. According to the information I've found, the climate is almost exactly the same as in Houston--hot, muggy summers and warm, temperate winters--which means I should be missing the frigid, terrible winters in much of China during December.
It will be a two-week job so I'll be back a week before Christmas. Fuzhou doesn't seem to have much tourist-oriented attraction but there are several mountains surrounding the city and some old monuments and a mountaintop Buddhist temple. I only have a couple of layover days so I'll be seeing as much as I can.
Fuzhou is also a very old city--over two thousand years--and historically been a major shipbuilding port for China. I leave on December 3 and will be back in Friendswood on December 19.
