Week # 19 in China. Back in the USSR (aka China)

Work-
On a plane all day Monday and Tuesday, back in my China office on Wednesday. Business as usual. Friday and Saturday i was at a Logistics Seminar in Guangzhou.

Personal-
Wednesday night, I went for a massage and to have my feet taken care of. Thursday night, Tighe and I took Matt out for a farewell beer. He had been here for 10 days and I got to see him his last evening. Sunday is right now and I got taxes filed, grocery shopping, laundry and updated this blog.

See you next week!

Another goodbye party

Matt was in China the week I was in the USA, but we did see each other the final night he was in town. Tighe and I had to take him out for a beer.


Tighe won at a dice game and won this "bucket" of beer. Needless to say, we did not finish it all.






Logistics Seminar in Guangzhou

Friday afternoon Agnes, Jane and I went to Guangzhou to attend an all day seminar on Saturday. It was in Mandarin, but I picked up enough to make it worth my trip. Here are pictures of the hotel. Nice place!





















Week # 18 in China, really the USA

I am home. I arrived in Minneapolis on Saturday March 7th. Kayla picked me up from the airport and we headed home. The week was spent working from my Roseville office and went to a Wild Game with Robin, Mark, Kelsey, and Karen. we lost in OT.
Caught up with some friends, had a meeting or two at the fire station, and got on a plane on Monday the 16th to return to China.
