Early start in Shenzhen. Freezing cold as per expected. No heating in the usually humid south of China. At lunchtime I managed to ask a security guard, in Chinese, where the bank was. He understood and pointed. Not a big deal but a big deal for me. Slipped out of the hotel this evening for some food and found somewhere local and in walked my colleagues. Pure coincidence. We all had dinner and the food was great. Tofu and Egg plant in a Cantonese style. Managed to make some conversation in Chinese. It’s getting there slowly. I notice that Wuhan, Nanjing and Hefei are under a layer of snow. I hope I can get back to HK tomorrow.
