2025-12 - Shanghai, China meetings

InterContinental Shanghai Ruijin

This was a quick trip. I don’t have a lot of observations. I had time for nothing but conversation and one museum visit. The different perspectives on Shanghai are fascinating. This giant city has different aspects. I’ve seen almost none. Instead of my usual long intro here, please go read a few posts at jaapgrolleman.com
