You’ve got to love the giant Mao looming above the Free Hugs sign and in front of the McDonald’s sign in the thumbnail. He’s watching …

Yep that was a reference to Lake Wobegon. Good ol’ Garrison Keillor.
No, I don’t think we’ve met. I just stumbled on your site browsing around.
I will be careful on my bike - and these cadres coming up my tail in the bike lane had better be careful too or i’m going to take a que from that lady in Beijing. She’s positively brilliant.

What is the name of the song and who sings it?

I don’t know who sings it … but I just read that people who gave out free hugs in both Beijing and Shanghai were taken into custody and interrogated by police.
Yikes. I guess I’ll just stick with handshakes and waves.
