We flew into Hong Kong very early on March 10th. My brother-in-law Xinhua picked us up and started our 10 day whirlwind visit in China.
- Mar 10-12: Shenzhen visiting my little sister (Little Three - yes that is her name) and her husband Xinhua who celebrated his 49th birthday (details in the post "XinHua's Birthday Celebration). They just became empty nested a few months ago when their daughter went to college in the US. We ate ourselves silly.
- Mar 12 - 13: we were in YiWu, 2 hours flight from ShenZhen. This is where I imported my jewelry kits into a jewelry club a few years ago. Jacky, my contact and liaison, has since gotten married and has 2 children. We were there to visit Jacky and his family while we checked out some potential products for imports. We were overwhelmed just like last time, but opportunities are endless. Pictures below.
- Mar 13 - 15: HangZhou, visiting my dear friend ZhouJing, whose Walla Walla house we have been living in for the last few years. She impresses me every single time I visit her work place. She is currently a consultant for this top ranked company Nong Fu Spring which is ranked top 10 food and beverage companies in China and is expected to go public in 2 years, wathc this one. Her specialty is setting up HR systems for companies so they can operate at the tightest and crack proof level. She is currently full-time there and occupies a very important slot. IMPRESSIVE.
- Mar 15 - 20: Xian, visiting my mom and my middle sister (Little Cloud and yes, that is her name). More to come.
