On 14 September our Rotary Club of Beijing was honored to receive the visit of RI President Sakuji Tanaka and a group of Rotarians from District 3450 (Hong Kong, Macao and Mongolia) as well as the President of the Rotary Club of Shanghai.

We had a joint lunch in the Kempinski Hotel. As usual as was the back-up Sergeant-at-Arms. The President gave a speech and chatted with many of our members present. The President was also excited that I was a frequent guest in Japanese KTVs in Beijing (I was in one yesterday!), he is also a fan of singing. He was also impressed with my bike outfit when I was leaving and had to return to make a picture with him…

Pictured are some of the attendees and myself with our RCB President David van Meerendonk and the RI President. The delegation received a set of special mooncakes as a souvenir.
