Cameron,

Sorry I did not realise you were there.

I was in Beijing and then went onto Cxan - spelling - to see the terracota warriors and the region. Then down to Shangia for a week or so. Did all the region there and spent a few nights over the river in the nightclub bar area - the Bound.

Yes will be interesting to see how quickly they re start the industry and the economy now that the eyes are off..

I also spent a lot of time out in the outer ring road area loolking at business there. So may have been very close to you.

Bernie

It's Xian, but don't worry, unless you live here it's all a bit confusing.

I have been watching the Golden Arches in the city. Interesting challenges but they look to be doing OK. One has opened near us, it's a bit quiet at the moment, but time will tell if the locals catch on, or can afford it!

Cameron

P.S. Bernie - note the sig line...

it gives a clue as to my location

Hi Bernie & All,

Just saw your post on CC and thought that I would drop in and see what you have going on. One site that I belong to calls their Chat Room the Water cooler.

Looks good and so far some interesting posts. But don't forget us on CC.

Ron

After watching that 8 hour...eerrr....minute video,I now understand the standards y'all have set for this thread.

With all y'all's verbousness (is this a word ?) and efforts.I have no doubt y'all will be able to get close to those standards.

Looks to be a fun thread.
