He's lived both in the north and the south of China, but apparently has never been able to see stars there because of smog. We're setting up some stargazing soon because I have killer stars here -- which I have totally taken for granted up until now.

Coffee in my cup. Need plenty of time to wake up this morning before church!
Your post made me immediately think of Emerson's essay "Nature" - if I am remembering the right essay - with the wish to look at stars every night as if they were brand new [paraphrasing badly].
