Another problem with the trip was his travel schedule.
He needed to extend his stay in Japan.
One week in Japan wasn't enough.
Three Japanese restaurant owners wanted to meet with him.
He needed more time for the meetings than a couple of days.
And he didn’t want to miss staying with a good friend of his.
His friend lives near Mt. Fuji and owns a great restaurant.
This was one thing Paul didn’t want to miss.
As a result, he extended his stay in Japan.
Instead of staying for just a week, he decided to stay for 10 days.
As a result, he had to change the dates for his stay in China.
The meetings in China were delayed by three days.
Instead of arriving on the first of the month, he arrived on the fourth.
Fortunately, there were no problems with his new schedule in China.
However, there were fewer meetings than he expected.
There wasn’t much interest in opening new Italian restaurants.
Still, he had one very good meeting.
He met a young Chinese restaurant owner who was interested.
The young man already has a restaurant, but he wants to improve it.
He and Paul liked each other right away.
They met twice in Beijing and are planning to meet again.
The young Chinese man’s name is Yi.
He is planning to come to see Paul.
They are going to meet late next week in Toronto.
Together they will work on a business plan.
Paul is glad that he took the trip.
He thinks it was a successful and enjoyable trip.
