Spent time in Harbin, Shuafenhur, on the Chinese Russian border, Chong Quing and Hunan. Did three years expanding factories in Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and India and now back in China working on my third expansion for a company engaged in making micro drills for PCB subcontractors. Lotta fun, loads of work, get to work my ass off seven days a week, but still loads of fun, you know the drill, it never ends.

I did some time in Macao too but only at the Casinos

I know what you mean about working your ass off. I did most of my travel in 4 week blocks. You fly in, work like mad and then go home. I used to be away from home about 6 or 7 months of the year. Too difficult now with having a family so my trips are only a week or so at a time and only a few a year. I've done a lot of work around the APAC region over the years. Worked in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, India and Japan as well. Seen some interesting places in my travels and others I never want to go back to.
