Paul has several friends in each country
One of his best friends lives near Mount Fuji
His friends lives near a beautiful lake about 3 hours from Tokyo
His friends is a great cook and owns a little restaurant
Th restaurant is located on a hill above the lake
It has a wonderful view and the food is wonderful
Paul ‘s looking forward to eating there
Then he will spend the night at his friend’s house
On way to get to his friends ‘s house is to go by train
If he takes a train, his friend will meet him at the train station
There’s a train station about half an hour from his friend’s house
On the other hand ,he may decide to go by car
He can rent car for a few days,and see more of the country
He can use a GPS to help him with directions
He doesn’t speak Janpanese,so the directions need to be in English
In China ,Paul has a good friend who lives in Beijing
They studied at the same university in Canada more than 15years ago
His Chinese friend wants to help Paul with his business
His friend has lots of business experience
His friend can help Paul ,learn about doing business in China
Paul knows there is a lot to learn
He will certainly need his friend’s help
While in Beijing they plan to visit several Italian restaurants
They may meet with some of the owners too,but it isn’t certain yet
Most of the owners are Chinese
One or two of them may want to do business with Paul
If he has time ,he may go to the Great Wall of China
It’s a few hours outside of Beijing by car
Altogether the trip may take three or more weeks
Paul still isn’t sure how long he will stay in each country
He may spend a week in Japan and two weeks in China
He may decide to stay longer
Everything depends on his friend
He expects to get more information from them in the next day or two
