Seven days and counting
Fitting in here comes naturally to me. Since my last post I have met many new friends, eaten lots and lots of hot pot and cut back my beer intake. John, my Dallas friend/ co-worker went back to Texas and my new friend, Lucy, flew home to Toronto. Last weekend we dined at a Japanese restaurant and attended a new club opening at the Village. We also drank coffee at a sports bar called Eudora Station on Friday night before eating at a very local Chinese restaurant.
Saturday night we ate Japanese food.
Sunday I bowled four games with new friends Simon from the U.K. and Steven from Beijing. Bowling resumes again Sunday at noon. They are in a league that starts back up at the end of February after the Chinese new year. I held my own. I think my scores were 127, 131, 111, and 122.
The work week produced several productive meetings. I have new fliers, postcards, temporary business cards, and stands for the foam machines in the works. The meeting with the stand people was very positive. The foam cannon attachment for the Bubble Blaster 3000 is in development as well. Friday, (tomorrow) I have a sight seeing tour scheduled for 9am and (hopefully) a fiberglass factory visit in the afternoon. Today included a tour of the factory where the vinyl for the inflatable bubble pits are manufactured. Finding this factory may seriously reduce my cost of production of the inflatable pits. I find all of the folks I am meeting to be extremely warm and friendly.
I could see myself spending several months a year here.
