Just signed a contract to go to Shanghai from Nov. 16-22. Will be conducting seminars on sales and sales management/leadership.

Seems our Marxist friends want a "capitalist point of view" as they now have to compete in the global economy.

My host asked me if there was anything I particularly liked and I told him fine Habanos. He said that he'd provide me with as many as I want during my visit.

It's been awhile, but I remember as a kid I heard you could dig to China! Does this still hold true today? Either way I think flying in is best. I also heard that Al Gore opened a Chinese Restaurant! I'm not sure if it is actually in China though. Hey have a great trip! I would be very excited to just go to Tacoma this summer! rns
