| So you do believe that I spent a few days with Gong Li but question ordering a bottle of sherry? Why? |

Any one can come here and report many things. For instance, when Gong Li was younger, shortly after her relationship with a certain director had ended, I met her in an art gallery in the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. She was trying to make a decision about a couple of pictures she liked.
Since I had some knowledge of art, having previously worked for an exclusive gallery in Los Angeles, I was invited to offer my opinion by the galley worker, who was a friend of mine. I made a few observations, which Gong Li appreciated, and I went on my way.
Later, she came into the bar where I was waiting for my friend from the gallery. She sat in a booth in a private area. A bar worker came over and said Ms Gong had invited me to join her in her booth. I ordered a nice bottle of sherry and joined her.
She thanked me for helping her make her decision about the pictures. We talked a bit, had a few glasses of sherry, and I smoked my pipe. She enjoyed the fragrance of the tobacco very much. It was a fine aromatic known as "deacon's downfall." I had brought it to China from California.
Well, yes, she invited me to her room and I spent not only the night, but a few days with her. She is even more beautiful than the sultry singer in Shanghai Triad.
Anyone believe that? |
I know we've locked horns lately, but I tip my hat to you this time. That was a funny story. |

Hansen, you're quite right, I could report anything here.
I could say that my department only hires tenure track faculty from the USA job market with American and Canadian PhD's. I could also say that our tiny department (numbering less than 15 including faculty and deans) received a donation in excess of 100 million RMB from a bank before the financial crisis started.
You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. |

Hansen, sorry, but I don't believe customs would allow you to enter China with loose (pipe) tobacco.

| Questioning how your Dean at a University can afford a home worth over $1 million US dollars is a far cry from someone waving his privates around with claims of conquered female artsy fartsy ladies. |

According to the China Custom's web site, you can enter China with 250 grams of packaged tobacco.
In my time in China with various exit's and entries, I have never once had my luggage searched. I simple walk out of the airport, through the nothing to declare exits. And to be clear, I have no association with tobacco products of any kind. |
