MDM Goes To China



Taoist Temple in Suzhou, China

Did I ever tell you the story of when I went to China? Well let me tell you... I was sent to Suzhou, China to set up some equipment in a new plant my company was building. Talk about the coal miner lost in New York City! I got off the plane in the middle of the night in Shanghai after a thirteen hour flight. Nervous, traveling alone, going through customs with everyone staring at you suspiciously. Not a good feeling. I decided later that it was me, not them. The Chinese people treated me like I was a rock star!



My "bird".

Did I mention the plane ride? The biggest jet I've ever been on. Business class. Cost my company 4 G's! The first thing they do is make you take your shoes off and put on slippers that they let you keep! Swear! I thing it's state law. They give you a choice of several entrees: Shrimp, steak, a strictly Asian dish (which is what I had), all gourmet. After the meal it's after-diner drinks and a steaming-hot scented towel to wash your face and relax. The beautiful uniform-clad stewardess' giving you back rubs way too often... Wait a minute, I think that was some other place...





This is where I lived.






This was my privy.





This was lunch.


more later...
