The table was empty for the city of Xian. So I went to that table and sit there as a rep for the City of Xian. Not far from my home there is a Peace sculpture designed and made by the City of Xian. It is located on the North Oak and Vivion Road in North Kansas City, right in front of the Price Chopper today.<br />By the way ,the City of Guiyang in Guizhou Province is the sister city of Kansas City , Kansas.<br />Anqi in Parkville, MissouriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-67366476775400221892009-07-14T18:47:31.076-05:002009-07-14T18:47:31.076-05:00Perhaps you and Qian should become the cultural am...Perhaps you and Qian should become the cultural ambassadors of the Kansas/Xi'an sister city organisation. As Hopfrog says, much more of understanding needs to be created between many countries and China - both sides seem to have a instinctive mutual suspicion of each other. Who better than you and Qian to be ambassadors of goodwill.Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782192840421019943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-86991676972145756912009-07-14T11:00:56.677-05:002009-07-14T11:00:56.677-05:00Lol, I've lived here in the states all my life...Lol, I've lived here in the states all my life and I never knew you guys called it KCMO. Never even heard that before but sounds cool.<br /><br />Nice story, glad to see this kind of thing going on in the heartland. Really hope China and the US foster a friendly relationship, because right now I am getting the vibe that a lot of people here are starting to magnify China's faults and this probably comes from being threatened by its emerging power. Likewise, I am getting the vibe that China is getting a bit ahead of itself and needs to be more diplomatic in its progress.<br /><br />Hopefully there are enough level heads in both countries with the guts to help foster a growing friendship and not an icy relationship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
