Met up with my new friends, Duxin and Ren (not Martin and Buzz), professional guides here in Chengdu. Awesomely nice guys, Duxin is a bright and engaging guy who loves to compare notes on all things american. We talked about the price of a cup of coffee at Starbucks and, while he's never actually had one, knows all about the pricing structure compared to the US. I think we need to stop for a cup of coffee. And maybe a blueberry scone. Now we just need to find out if they're triangular or square. Enquiring minds need to know.
