It was nice to meet you too and everyone else on Thursday night (everyone except Charan of course).

I am sorry that we didn't talk much. Despite what King Edshel says, I am very old and deaf as a post. If you are looking for Chinese friends, one of my colleagues in the office here is a young Chinese guy who has only been here for a few weeks. Let me know if you want me to do introduce you. Ciao
