I've said before that the Chinese art of napping (Wu Xiu) is less likely to happen these days, but I actually think it is a good habit. We should change the nursery rhyme to: "a nap a day keeps stress and pressure at bay".

About
I began doing business in Asia about 10 years ago. From the outset, this has been fascinating, exciting and complex. I started this blog as a way to respond to practical questions and to separate fact from fiction when viewing Asia from the West.
