We have been trying to get him ready for several months. We knew he'd need a new suit, since his old one was purchased for a wedding he was in in 2001 and was sort of khaki/olive. Chinese business culture dictates that your suit be dark -- preferably of the black or navy variety.
So 2 new suits, one charcoal, one navy, have been procured, along with a suit bag that rolls up (very convenient). The passport is ready, and the immunizations are taken care of.
Right now we just have a few more things to take care of; new black dress shoes must be obtained, an electrical adapter, and a camera.
I know, we have a plethora of Fuji digital cameras in this house. But Rob does not want to mess with my camera; it's a little too bulky and frankly, he will only shoot in Auto mode so the manual settings are a waste. Plus they annoy him.
So today he ordered this little beauty.
It's perfect -- compact, easy to use, plenty of megapixels and a little optical zoom as well. think it will work great, and I'm looking forward to making a scrapbook of his China trip when he comes back.
And yes, I am far more excited about the new camera than he is.
Is he taking requests for faux-coach??? :) I can just see it now, Rob comes home with 2 suits, a camera and and entire suitcase full of faux coach accessories. I can just see his professors asking, "What did you learn about China during your residency, Rob?"

Which area(s) will Rob be visiting in China? Would love to see the products from that new camera, and any other reports. I live through other people's travels :-)
