Today is my last night in Guangzhou, and Walter will also leave tomorrow. We tried very hard to be able to finish our tests tomorrow, so we worked overtime today. We got out of the office of ICIC China at 22:00, and then Zhang Chiang, our sales manager in Guangzhou, took us to evening tea.
The Cantonese have a habit of eating snacks after dinner. We were all uder a lot of stress these days, so when we were about to finish our job tonight, Walter asked me if we could go for beers after work. We went to a restaurant nearby. The food was great as most of Cantonese restaurants, and the local beer, Zhu Jiang Beer, was also great.
When we got back to the hotel, Walter asked me if I would like to have more drinks with him. We brought a bottle of local wine, the Great Wall Red Wine which I have just read on magazines and always wanted to try to his room. He received a short message about the terrorism alert in UK. We then talked a lot about terrorism, the world, business in Iran, modern China, and his family and vacations. It was almost four o'clock when we noticed the time and finished the wine. It was great knowing Walter. Byt the way, Chinese wine tastes interesting.
