Liu Hong Tao made it to the site that I had picked out with 16 minutes to spare. I was actually quite impressed with him. I knew that if left on my own, there was no way that I would be able to get here in that time.
Stepping out of my RV, I saw the rest of the convoy speeding to a stop around us. I watched all the men getting out of the vehicles and lining up in straight lines in front of me as if this was a military drill. Wang Chao and Liu Wei walked up to stand on either side of me and Liu Hong Tao stepped into his position in line.
"If anyone has anything electronic on them that they want to save… watches, cell phones, anything, go put them in your RVs. You have 5 minutes," I said looking at my cell phone. The men broke ranks to do what I had asked and returned to their lines within 3.
Ahhh….it was so nice dealing with professionals.
16:55pm- T -5 minutes and counting.
