Week # 2 in China

Business- Very busy and loving it. There is much to do here and that keeps me going. I spent Wednesday and Thursday in Hong Kong this week attending the Info Comm Asia 2008 trade show and spending time in our Chief Manufacturing booth. The show was very busy and our sales team was very impressed by the turn out. I also got to visit the booth of one of our related companies AMX and get a better understanding of what they have for services.

Our Managing Director, Stuart, and I stopped after the show to sit outside at a local Hong Kong establishment call the "V King Lounge". We talked about the days sales leads and the activity at the show.

Two take aways- I want to have some of the integrated home conveniences offered in AMX's product line, and I saw the largest coolest TV on the market, the Sharp 108" LCD. WOW! Remember that I am 6' 5" tall standing next to this TV.

Personal-

Not a whole lot happening this week. I got my cash card back. What a dummy!

Rode a ferry across Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong. It was a sunny day. The cost is 6 Hong Kong Dollars or about $0.80 for a ferry ride. That is pretty affordable transportation.

I had some 2 nd showings on about 4 apartments and decided on 2 of them last night. I am in negotiations for the best price and options. I hope to be moving in this week or next weekend at the latest. I would like to get settled and start making my own dinners. Eating out is not as fun as it sounds. I hope to post some apartment pictures next week so you can see what it look like.

I get to ride the fast train again on Monday. Myself and 3 others from the office are traveling to see a factory in the Dong Guan area and so we are taking the train. I will get some pictures of that too. Miss Kayla, Nick, Robin and the rest of my family, but keeping busy helps greatly.

I got all my stuff yesterday after 10 days of China Customs clearance delay. Unpacked the golf clubs first as I am going to play golf tomorrow (Sunday). Looking forward to golfing in what I would call a beautiful spring or fall day (65-70 degrees F). The locals call this winter. I like China winters.

If you have any questions or want to know something, just send me a note.

Talk soon,

Kevin
