Ch 35: UK ->China

I hear birds out. They come out rather early in Oxford before the sun rises. It's 6:56am in England. I didn't just get up. I've been awake. Why you might ask? Two reasons. One we just finished a smashing birthday party over at my apartment at 104 Botley Road. Quite a good time and a great momentum starter to go into the holidays with.

Secondly it's 2:56pm... in China. Which is where I'll be headed in the next few hours. My first landing was a great time with my younger brothers. My second landing will be another great time but with a slightly different focus. I will be meeting with entrepreneurs, businessmen/women, a CEO or two, China business bloggers and Oxford Alumni. They will be my much needed guides and advisors as I seek to learn more about the opportunities and pitfalls of business (and general life) in China.

It's funny but I don't consider this "work". It's fun. It's engaging. It ENERGISES and INSPIRES me to hear the stories of the China pioneers both young and seasoned. When I made the choice to come to Oxford (with my sites set on China) I also made a commitment to put the concept of "work life" and "personal life" behind me. Life is life and I plan to do things with my life that I love. It just happens to be that I'm keen on China business. Hopefully with the right focus, efforts and attitude, Chinese business will be keen on me. 7:08AM... that's 3:08pm China time. I have a plane to catch. Zai Jian.
