[Missed Approach]

Hi Rick- That's fantastic you got a Driving Permit, and it looks like they listed only your first name- 理查德! I started going to China for work in '05. Before my first trip, I found an instructor (老师) in Minneapolis to work on speaking, reading & writing. I've always struggled with writing, but his lessons in reading & speaking have been a huge help. There's nothing better than the myriad of cuisines. It's awesome you've spent time in Xi'an (everybody loves biang biang 面) Regardless, thanks for the great photos! As an aside, I'll never forget the first time I sat in a BYD in 2016 (in Guangzhou). My initial thought was, this is a game-changer.
