Oracle Harmony Conferences 2013

 

Beijing, China
Vancouver, Canada
 
 
 
 
This will be an exploratory mission in jet lag ... work all day, fly to Seattle, stand around the airport, fly to Beijing, following day teach an all day class at Oracle's headquarters in Beijing, for the following two days attend the ACOUG conference, following day try to take in one of the world's largest countries and greatest cultures in a single day, fly home, drive to Canada, teach a class, drive back to Seattle, clean out a locker and have dinner with friends, the following day drive back to San Francisco and unload everything, and infally on Monday the 25th go back to work and not look like something that crawled out from under an airplane seat.

And yes ... this was all my idea of a great time. Go figure.

Next trip ... I need to make time for the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the terracotta army in Xian, and a few more places of interest. (Cindy Sun).
