Yes, good point. "Vilified by our leaders."

I do think it’s important we separate any vilification,

between a people and its leadership. We all know far too well (and see within so many countries currently) they are not one in the same, even if some percentage of its people buy in to what’s being sold at the highest levels.
Our experience in China echoes what you say about the people.
My little China! girl.

China!

Danced with wind and danced with fire,
Killed the truth and called the liar.
China! That seems like a country with great people who
are so vilified by America, they get a bad rap.
I will look for Vision Poet more.
Id want to...
I just came up with the idea while I was there. But I'd love to be able to do this all over.
Can't wait to see the next one. Do you do these all around
the world?
Please keep them coming.

My Time In the West Bank Pt. 1
I mentioned in a post (I think) last week that I spent time in the West Bank in February. It was my second time there (the first was back in 2018). I vlogged every night or the following morning so that I wouldn't forget what I saw before absorbing something els, with plans of creating a multimedia video series (talking head vlog + photos + video + animation). A few of you asked me to share the episodes here, so here's episode one, which will be shorter than the rest since it just focuses on the day I arrived, but I still had a good time meeting random people in the Old City.
While there I visited other parts of Jerusalem (including Lifta, which was devastating), Jericho, Bethlehem, Hebron, Ramallah, Nablus, the Christian town of Taybeh (where I pretty much got adopted by a Palestinian grandma), Tulkarem, Farkha, three refugee camps, and a few smaller villages including Masafer Yatta (infamous for Palestinians having to live in caves because settlers set their houses on fire) and a couple Bedouin villages.
