At The Shining Hotel, I will occasionally meet another westerner, usually one per monthly visit; often a Brit. On this visit I met a chap who used to live in my village for three years and used to drink at The Railway. I may have walked passed him in the street, as we overlapped. On a previous visit, I met a lad who lives in the neighbouring village of Henley-In-Arden. These guys are over in China on buying trips for their own businesses. It’s fascinating to meet such people and see what they are up to. They admire my stamina, and I admire their entrepreneurship.
