Beijing

After all the crap of yesterday, I am in Beijing for a meeting. 

This is so refreshing and more what I'm used to: intelligent and approachable partners working for the common good of the firm and all who work there, down to the newest and lowest ranking recruit.

Above all I have found in every visit to Beijing (and Shanghai) a strong culture of Professional Courtesy - respect for other views, collegiality and stewardship. 

Had to laugh - saw the Colonel scurrying into MacDonalds for lunch today - he obviously hasn't settled in well into China and still needs things that remind him of home.
