James in Vancouver

I almost forget when and how I met James, was it in Microsoft, AST or Tektronix? It is really not a matter

I could only know that we are good friends, not sure starting from when as well? It is really not a matter too

I only remembered ...

When we were in Tektronix, we had lunch one day and I felt very sick right after I went back to the office and he told me "it's alright, no problem I will send you to the hospital.." , he did then send me to the Sanitorium Hospital in Happy Valley and waited till Andrew came


In 2000 I had lunch with him in Wanchai and he got a phone from his family said his dad was passing out. I asked him to leave for hospital immediately


Before he moved to Vancouver, we always played mahjong together from Tradtional Mahjong (13 tiles) to Shanghai Mahjong (16 tiles) and he always wins a lot of money from me (He continues to win my $$$$$ when I visit him in Vancouver this time, )

We went to Karaoke in Beijing and he was the one to teach me how to play the "lying dices"

When i was down and tired in my job, he was the first one to offer I am always welcome to spend sometimes in Vancouver with his family, he could provide free accommodation, meal and transportation arrangement and providing mahjong games in the evening too (winning the game of course is no guarantee )


Frankly speaking, I really seldom travel to visit my friend abroad, as I don't want to "bother" others. But Jame and his family is on top of my list should I plan to visit somewhere and that's why I chose to go to Vancouver as the first stop this time

Thanks James my buddy and Wynnea, his wife for their warm hospitality.
