About a week ago, as was reported on this list tourism was stopped in Tibet. Yesterday, the local governments of Shanghai, Guilin, Yunnan and Jiangsu followed suit. Other destinations are expected to follow suit. Foreign tour operators are being told to cancel all incoming FITs and Group travel.

Well, at least that narrows down my vacation options. My brother still hasn't responded to my e-mail about joining me.

Oh, and Happy International Labor Day!

Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We'll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.
