Not importing something but exporting our products there. Finally going the other way by sending some US good to that part of the world for a change.
This deal came up and because I had a new baby, I sent my younger brother and his wife. I figured it would be a 2nd honeymoon since they just got married in May.
So, the Chinese culture is crazy. The "4 star" hotel is a bigger dump than Motel 6. Everything is super formal and the other night at dinner, he sits next to the main business guy we are working with, they flop a fish on the table. The guy takes his chopsticks and pulls the eyeball out and drops it on my brother's plate.
Now, in China, if someone gives you something you accept or it sows major disrespect. My brother is very picky about food, but for the good of the company, he ate the focken eyeball. Hahahahahahaha. :D
Last night, he had to eat duck tounge. :D They are both sick now over there and have lost a ton of weight due to the lacking of eating. Cant they just eat rice, WTF? hell, maybe I should have gone and came back skinny.:idea:
I am laughing my a$$ off and feeling bad at the same time. All I can say is he better come home with that check!!!!!! :D
