I sent Alvin a text before the plane left. As I landed I saw that he had confirmed our appointment. That is good. I got to the office in about fifteen minutes, cost RMB30, unlike what one cabby offered RMB150. Thank god for the meter. I walked down the street and found a coffee shop. Its raining on and off so I’m glad to be inside and luckily I brought my umbrella after checking the weather before I came. The lunch was good, rice with escargot and spinach sauce, actually one of the cheapest things on the menu RMB16. Now that is a change from Tianjin. Still looks like China except a little cleaner than Tianjin and the traffic is quite reasonable. Trying not to get to involved with the my office today but they are calling needing things. Not sure how many minutes I will have, hopefully through the rest of the day. And the battery on my computer isn’t going to make it till this evening. I’ll have to find another way to entertain myself till my flight. But do need to get the cover story article done before it quits. Updating after the meeting. I don’t have a lot prepared besides what I already sent him, so I feel prepared and confident so everything should work out well I think.
