From Shenzhen, China via Hong Kong

[Hugh]

My son Anh and I just arrived in Shenzhen, China after a 15 hour flight from LAX and about 1.5 hours drive from HKG.

For some unknown reasons, gmail is not accessible here at the hotel so :(

I will update this with pictures as we spend the time here.

EDIT: gmail is finally working so...:)

I was tired so didn't really take enough pictures.

First set shows the drive to Shenzhen from Hong Kong.

This was our first dinner in Shenzhen with Mr. Wang of Melody.

I guess I can let the cat out of the bag now.

I am the exclusive US distributor for Melody. :)

We are bringing brand new models to The US market and I can't wait to show them off.

We didn't take any pictures yesterday being Sunday and it's really late by the time we finished our meeting.

Mr. Wang drove us all day to get to this hotel located in the Zhangjiajie Forest Park.

We left Shenzhen around 9AM and didn't get here until 11PM last night. :)

One thing I have to say is their highway system is very good.

It's about 1000km from Shenzhen.

Here is Mr. Wang & myself plus a couple of pictures I took along the way.

I missed a lot of beautiful scenery however. :(

EDIT: We hiked all day long yesterday in the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and the view is UNBELIEVABLE.
I recommend whoever got a chance to go to China to forget about Beijing or Shanghai and try a visit here.

Glad to see you have made it there. I hope Anh will be doing the picture taking, not you, however :D

Terrific, Hugh! Looking forward to the pics. Be safe.

Thank you for posting the pictures.

I would like to hear about the people that you meet, as well as the food that you eat. Nothing like hearing about the people and the food from other countries.

Any known speakers?
