El presidente

Tonight, I met the president of Holland Loader Company. It turns out that we are staying at the same hotel and both visited the Hard Rock Cafe, Beijing, this evening. After a minor dinner of some chicken wings and Tiger beer, we went to Sanlitun (a street full of bars in the Embassy district), and had some Tsingtao.

We talked about a variety of things-- he lived in Beijing for a short period of time, but has traveled back and forth pretty extensively also. He has heard of the Falkirk (sp?) mine. Of course, I mentioned that my dad works at a mine, but really, very little conversation centered on business types of stuff. He's flying back to Denver tomorrow, but he's going to try to get me in touch with a buddy of his for the week after spring festival (Chinese New Year).
