It's been a little while since I wrote..no business trips, no big events...just work (most of the time it's just that...work...not all the fun things I post here!) For whatever reason, I really didn't feel the motivation to write! So, here I am on a Sunday afternoon, cool outside (somewhere in the 40's today in the Sunshine), bright sunny days (at least until about 4:30 in the afternoon, when it starts getting dark). China is on 1 time zone all across the country...and they never change their clock. So all winter, we'll be 13 hours ahead of Eastern Standard time in the US rather than 12 hours ahead we were all summer.
As one of my Michelin collegues said, when you see the cabbages and leeks laying out to try and cool, here in Shenyang, it's time to get the winter jackets out...she's right! There are onions, leeks, cabbages everywhere!

As many of you know, we've been here for about 1.5 years now, and my job is with Michelin, building a plant to serve the China growing automobile market (selling all those cars, they need tires!)
We're making progress on the construction site for my plant...here are a couple of photos.

On additional thing about this concert was the pictures on the wall...Rod just had to have his picture taken with these guys in the background...how many can you name? (Thanks Julie Tovey for taking the photo..we've got yours too!) Notice the camera above Mao's head...I'm sure Rod's on some surveillance footage somewhere...of course I'm sure we both have been films several times with the number of cameras here!
