September 5

On September 5 I flew out at 6:30am for China, arrived in Bejing and flew on to Changchun. The hotel is beautiful. 129 sculptors, architects and government officials representing 120 countries are attending. In total there are over 500 participants at the conference. Each attendee is assigned an interpreter which is wonderful, allows us to do things at our leisure, well at least some of the things that we would like to. The presentations are informative, inspiring and interesting. 3 delegates from Canada made presentations including my friend Jock Hildebrand.
