Listening Paul’s Oversea trip2
Another problem with the trip was his travel schedule
He needed to extend his stay to Japan
One week in Japan wasn’t enough
Three Janpanese restaurant owners wanted to meet with him
He needed more time for the meetings than a couple of days
And he didn’t want to miss staying with a good friend of his
His friend lives near Mt.fuji,and owns a great restaurant
This was one thing Paul didn’t want to miss
As a result ,he extended his stay in Japan
Instead of staying for just a week,he decided to stay for 10days
As a result,he had to change the dates for his stay in China
The meetings in China were delayed by three days
Instead of arriving on the first of Month,he arrived on the fourth
Fortunately,they were no problems with his new schedule in China
However there were fewer meetings than he expected
There wasn’t much interest in opening new Italian restaurants
Still he had one very good meeting
He met a young Chinese restaurant owner who was interested
The younger man already has a restaurant,but he wants to improve it
He and Paul liked each other right away
They met twice in Beijing are planning to meet again
The young Chinese man’s name is Yi
He is planning to come to see Paul
They are going to meet late next week in Toronto
Together? they will work on a business plan?
Paul is glad that he took the trip
He thinks it was a successful and enjoyable trip
