Re: Birthday in Beijing

Yes, I think we'd better leave earlier, as the traffic around that
time would cause problems.

To secure the reservation, I may take off even earlier than you guys.
So see you all at the restaurant.

My mobile phone is 013958093536 (call from a land line, if you call
from a cell phone, remove the first 0, and dial 13958093536), just in
case you can not find me and the restaurant.

I've also printed out a Chinese version of the driving map from the
Continental to Dadong. See the attach. Show it to the cab driver. It
should be very clear for them to read the map. But if language barrier
does cause a problem, ask the driver to call me.

Best huajun.
