約 會 大 律 師 Recently, I sent emails to two potential networking contacts in HK. One of them is an attorney with a major law firm who works in the same legal specialty that I do. When I didn't receive a quick reply from him, I wondered whether he was too busy or whether my planned arrival in May next year was too far off to catch his attention. Fortunately, it wasn't either of those reasons. Today, my consultant friend S forwarded an email from the attorney in HK. The attorney had tried to reply several times, but for some reason, his emails didn't go through. Anyway, the attorney confirmed that he would like to meet me next May and commented that there are a number of excellent opportunities for someone with my background and language skills. That sounds pretty good to me! I am looking forward to meeting him and to exploring those opportunities.

Last year, when I was in Macau, I noticed a lot of casino construction activity along the waterfront not far from the hydrofoil terminal. According to the attorney, a good part of the HK construction industry is involved in the Macau casino construction work, and many people are spending time there. With my love of Macau, that's an assignment that I would be happy to take.  ¶ 9:00 PM
