It’s hard to imagine I can go over 40 years of my life not visiting Asia, and then go twice in the same year. Although it’s been in the works for at least a week, I have\u00a0officially\u00a0been given my flight information so I am indeed going to Beijing China for a job. I leave September 14th and return on the 23rd.<\/p>\n

This trip will be to work on a job for ATKearney<\/a>. I’m still waiting for the details of the job but from what I know there is the need to turn things around very fast and get them posted to the web. \u00a0<\/p>\n

We’ll be showing up just after the Olympics end, so\u00a0unfortunately\u00a0there’s no chance of going to any events while there. But I’ll be sure to visit The Great Wall at the very least!<\/p>\n

More details to follow in the coming weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
