A NIGHT WITH LI ZONG HAN (SEPT 12, 2008)

A Fun Night at Lennon's Bar
Sunday, Sept 12, 2008. The expats are restless. After a frantic messaging between each other, we all met at Lennon's Bar near the Crowne Plaza Hotel. People trickled in about 7pm. In attendance were: Josephine and Jack Hsieh (new guys from Queens NY), Oliver Spahn and Jessie Dong, Helmut (the Bäckermeister - read more about this professions), Hubert Ho, Joe Bruan from Wisconsin, Steve Dickerson (China expert, 30 year resident), Frank (German guitar player), Alysia (Zhang Ting) and I.

Li Zong Han
Two young Chinese guys came with Helmut. One was Li Zong Han and the other was Han's long lost Qingdao friend. It was the first time Han and his friend saw each other in 20 years. Li Zong Han was so modest, so much so that almost the entire night we did not find out his true identity (see Han's movie/TV credentials).

Anyway, after he was uncovered/undressed, all the other guys no longer existed from the eyes of Ting, Jessie , Adelia and Jo. It took some prying to get Han away from these crazy Chinese girls!!
