I grew up in Milwaukee and get back there often. As a kid I was a fan of the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team. I still am a little, although I really don't like how the NBA has evolved.
Anyway, the Bucks are in China right now playing exhibition games. The blog at the following link is about their travels and is very interesting. They are amazed by the excellent service in China as are most first-time visitors.

Their first-round draft pick, Joe Alexander, was born in Taiwan and speaks Mandarin. He is quite a hit over there I guess.
Milwaukee has established a sister-city relationship with Ningbo that seems pretty strong. There is a delegation from the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce also on the trip. I'm hoping to spend more time with this organization in the near future.
