Senior VP of International Acquisitions, Raymond Gunn was greeting by a group of joyful friends and family members at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday, following an extended — and completely unexpected — lay-over in Shanghai.
Ray traveled to China immediately after attending an international business conference in Mexico City. He had no idea that officials of the Chinese government would be waiting to shuttle him away to a quarantine facility at a remote military base.
“It’s really kind of funny,” said the 2006 GN High-Five Achievement Award winner. “I was kidding around with an attractive flight attendant and tried to tell her that she was making me hot. Well, I guess my Mandarin is a little rusty and she thought I said I had a fever. Can you imagine my surprise when three uniformed security agents pulled me off the plane when it landed? They were wearing surgical masks and shouting at me. It really was pretty terrifying, until they shot me with that tranquilizer dart.”
As an official guest of the Chinese government for three weeks, Ray had the opportunity to develop friendships with several other quarantined travelers. “There wasn’t much to do. The television only had one channel and the there’s only so many games of solitaire you can play. Plus some of the cards were missing from the deck they had in the common room.”
Chinese officials stated that precautions to prevent the spread of the H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus was the reason for the quarantine of Ray and two other American business travelers. Doctors who have examined Ray since his return report that he was never exposed to Swine Flu. While several of the other travelers claim to suffer from recurring nightmares, Ray is in perfect health.
“I’m just happy to home,” said Ray. “I know it sounds corny, but I really missed my mom.”
You made some Good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree.
This article is amazing I’m gonna put this in my bookmarks before I lose the address I don’t believe I’ll ever make it back here otherwise :)
Hello, awesome blog, I truly enjoyed reading it. This post gave me the kick to try my own blog, please check my blog by clicking my name at the top of this post, thanks
Miss the .com boom!? What’s with you man! Don’t miss it again
Thanks very much for putting together this great site.
Without doubt agree with what you stated. Your reason was by far the easiest to comprehend. I say to you, I often get irked when folks explain things that they obviously have no idea about. You managed to hit the nail right on the head and also rolled out everything clearly. Maybe, other folks can take a cue. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks!
Hi there, nice site with good info. I really like coming back here often. There’s only one thing that annoys me and that is the misfunctioning of comment posting. I usually get to 500 error page, and have to do the post twice.
Hey compañero, realmente tenido gusto este poste. Can’ t parece conseguirlo para dar formato a la derecha en Internet Explorer, se dobla todo para arriba, pero no trabaja muy bien en Firefox tan ninguna preocupación.
what a great site and informative posts, I will add a backlink and bookmark your site. Keep up the good work!
Heya i got to your site by mistake when i was searching bing for something off topic here but i do have say your site is really helpful, like the theme and the content on here…so thanks for me procrastinating from my previous task, lol
There’s good info here. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog. Keep up the good work mate!
Of course, what a great site and informative posts, I will add backlink - bookmark this site? Regards, Reader.
I couldn’t resist commenting. :)
Excellent info !! I will write an article on importing from China and what you wrote is very helpful.
I can’t find how to subscribe to the comments via feedburner. I want to keep up to date on this, how do I do that?
Good points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t write on blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very flattering to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault in the least , but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy just reading the posts.
Thanks!
Interesting writing! I hope to be teaching in Shanghai and am trying to read everything about China I can find.
I was just chatting with my friend about this the other day at Outback steak house. Don’t know how we got on the subject really, they brought it up. I do recall having a excellent fruit salad with ranch on it. I digress…
Great site! Your style is so much better compared to most other writers. Thank you for posting when you get the chance to, I’ll be sure to keep visiting!
Very cool, I really enjoyed that. Is there somewhere I can check out more about it?
Senior VP returns from extended China visit - Global Nemesis was a wonderful read. I love it, I can read this stuff forever, keep em coming!
I was just doing some web browsing on my Garmin Phone during my lunch at work , and I came across something I thought was intriguing. It linked over to your site so I came over. I can’t really figure out the relevance between your site and the one I came from, but your site good none the less .
I really like this site and Senior VP returns from extended China visit - Global Nemesis . I read about you on another site I found on AOL and thought they had great views as well.
Intriguing post. You have a decent writing style. Take care.
So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”
@Marco I know what your saying there . In todays economy its hard to find a job that pays good enough to live on and is stable . I have discovered that if you just work hard and are consistent you can go places . Look at the author of this article, they are clearly a hard worker and have just been consistent over time and are now enjoying at least what would appear as somewhat of a success. I would encourage everyone to just keep hustling and moving forward.
I was browsing to get a bunch of car sells and veichles bills docs and informations for my third partner company and just found out this post. I must say that you have done a wonderful effort. Thanks mate.
Thanks for sharing this insightful post. This is a very interesting article on China. I hope to read more in the future.
“the difference is senior food has less proteins and fats, becauseseniors dont need as many as a result of theyre not as active, if you have to very active labs i might keep them on the adult food therefore they can get all the proteins and carbs required for a vigorous life style. its no marketing ploy, puupy food has tons of proteins for growing, adult has a very little less cuase theyre done growing and senior has even less because theyre not as active”
Gold really is the foremost reliable investment right currently, not as a way to make a killing but as a means to maintain the wealth we already have whereas the greenback flops.
I received 1 st loan when I was 25 and it aided my family a lot. But, I need the student loan once again.

Odd , your post shows up with a dark hue to it, what color is the primary color on your site?
Wonderful to read!
I really liked this blog. Do you have advice on how to create my own blog like this?
Hey mate, greetz from Brazil !
Walmart is a total garbage place to work. However, it’s an excellent place to have a great big shopping spree.
If you want to buy a house, you will have to get the home loans. Moreover, my sister commonly uses a auto loan, which is really reliable.
Well I found this on Digg, and I like it so I dugg it!
Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
Hey I was just looking at your page on my HTC Phone and I was thinking about how well it will work on the new ipad thats coming out. Fleeting thought…. Anyway thanks!
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
I am very interested to know about this topic. Thanks for share it here…I like your writing…
i am unable to imagine doing this repeatedly; it’s nice for 1st timers, however the regulars in all probability stop him earlier in the presentation if they understand what they wish already.
I’ve been visiting your blog for a while now and I always find a gem in your new posts. Thanks for sharing.
In the long I definitely think that silver is going to rise in price a lot of additional than gold. Gold will simply maintain its value despite what currency does.
