About Business in China

Work was slow and relaxing. Nothing much happened. Hanging out as a group with our new co-worker Rosalind. She's from York U, and you can feel it. She's got the designer clothes, the shopaholic attitude. Actually she's quite something her Chinese is really good, I don't know if she is better than Patsy or not but Rosalind can blend right in here in Hong Kong. But then again I think originally she is from Hong Kong. She's apparently cottage friends with Alvin.

Phyllis had lunch plans so based on Phoebe we invited ourselves out to crash her party. We got to met her childhood friend who is now a female cop. Actually she patrols the North Point area. Rosalind got pretty excited about it and wanted to know all the movie action style stories. But there were none. Still she told us training was very hard. I never would have guessed she was a police women, she has a typical small frame like most of the Hong Kong girls.

I met up with Kevin, Wendy's cousin, after work. I finally could deliever those books and the remaining bag of Doritos before even that disappeared. Of course now that I've gotten here and we discovered that you can buy Doritos at the Wellcome or Park'n Shop it made the Doritos a little less special. Kevin was really nice. I was waiting around at the Causeway Bay MTR station for him and he picked me out right away. I just won't have the Hong Kong look, which is probably a good thing. We went out for drinks as well afterwards, his treat again, and we had a really good talk about the type of opportunities that are out there. Kevin's story was interesting to me and an inspiration. Hopefully I will be able to find an opportunity on my own for business in China. He had a lot of experience to share with me and I am hoping we can meetup again soon so I can learn more. This has been one of my main goals for coming to Asia. I guess I'll know more as I plan for my trip to Shanghai in August when Chen Ming Jian goes home. She's suppose to give me the grand tour and maybe then I can find something worth looking into. I have had a lot of good experience teaching but it really is hard work and isn't the best work in Hong Kong.
