Dear Friends,

The hotel is decadent in its comforts. It arguably tops the palace of Versailles.

It is 5 AM so that is a good sleep for night number one. I received full VIP treatment at the airport to the fullest extent imaginable.

No customs.
Met by airport staff.
Identified my bags.
Golf car waiting.

I was taken to a meeting room that was a replica of the Emperor’s royal palace interview room. There I was served tea.

Following the tea, I was taken to a waiting Mercedes that was for some reason accompanied by a black steroidal Hummer chase vehicle.

I was driven to my hotel and escorted immediately to my room.

Do you think my Chinese partners are open for business?

Regards,
Jim
