Want to know what Gov. Jim Doyle is up to in China? Read his blog.
He left Wisconsin last week for trade mission to China, along with dozens of Wisconsin businesspeople who are reportedly paying for the trip.
On Wedneday, Doyle spent the day in the highly populated city of Shanghai.
"I have never seen so much housing in such a small area," Doyle wrote. "As we drove around, we saw apartment high-rise after high-rise. They were enormous. In about a quarter mile, I think I saw enough housing for the entire population of Milwaukee. And no wonder -- with a population of more than 20 million, the city of Shanghai alone has almost four times as many people as the entire state of Wisconsin."
The blog includes video and audio clips, including an audio clip from Tuesday when the Doyle had a conference call with reporters in Wisconsin.
Doyle said he decided to keep a blog for this trip for schoolchildren to learn more about China.
Next, Doyle will be visiting Nanjing and then Hong Kong before he returns March 31. His office says this is the largest trade delegation in Wisconsin history and the second largest state trade delegation ever to visit China. Last year, Wisconsin's exports to China increased by more than 50 percent and included everything from Wisconsin ginseng to manufactured goods to high-tech medical supplies.
Doyle said Wisconsin had barely begun to tap China's full potential and that could provide high-paying jobs here.
