Phil Collins

Today I decided to take a late lunch and headed to one of the many restaurants in our building to satisfy a craving I had. I ordered a very traditional Chinese meal - rice gruel with pork, tripe, salted eggs and meatballs and a side of Chinese broccoli. Trust me - it is an extremely tasty dish! As I tucked into my lunch I started humming along with the music that was playing in the background.

This in itself was not strange - you know I like music and like to sing and I am getting to the point where I recognize the really popular songs here. However, as I kept humming I realized that it was Phil Collins - the greatest hits! I'm not quite sure why he was chosen, but song after song played as I finished my lunch.

It was another one of those - I'm in China - this is strange - why not? moments.

I apologize for the two month pause in my blog. I will blame it on the fact that in the last two months I have been in Beijing, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Paris (France), Hefei and another city in Anhui province. I was the MC and spoke at three seminars and added another speech two weeks ago. I have just managed to catch my breath from the whirlwind and try to resettle.

Two years ago on Sunday I arrived in Shanghai. What a two year period.

Cheers!
