So my mum left for the UK on Sunday, almost as soon as she’d gone I had to start packing for a group meeting in Hangzhou (an exciting 4 days of sales presentations!!).
Anyway, the hotel’s nice enough, right on the banks of the famous West Lake, which basically means we’re engulfed by clouds of mosquitos every time we pop out for fresh air (the perfect place to stop for some Professor Dingle’s DIY Acupuncture Therapy!!)
We popped out for a few beers last night after dinner, we ended up at a place called XiHuTianDi (apparently developed by the same people that brought us XinTianDi), it’s a nice enough place, on a small peninsula, Starbucks etc, very sterile, perfect place to unwind over a pitcher of beer after a day of presentations though!
During the fun and chaos one of my Korean colleagues called a waiter over and asked for a gigolo for an Ajuma (older married woman, not sure how you spell it) we were with but with his feeble Putonghua he ended up asking for duck’s chins (according to our hysterical Chinese colleague), neither arrived!
