Plans are firming up (and changing)

My dates were set and I got plane tickets and hotels this week! Weve made a major change and (m going to China twice rather than split between China and Korea. Although Im disappointed that I wont get to Korea, it makes more sense to concentrate my limited time in one country. Ill fly direct from Newark to Beijing on August 14th, spend a week there, then fly to Lhasa for a couple of days, and finish in Shanghai on the 24th-28th. In November Ill go back to Beijing and Hong Kong.

I'm thrilled that Dr. Carter Tseng, co-founder of Microtek, has agreed to help with my program in Beijing.
Logistically, Im applying for my visa, connecting to schedule meetings, and trying to figure out how to coordinate my meeting efforts with my program coordinator in China. Its all getting very real now!
