Hedge Fund China Summit In Shanghai

Hong Kong International Airport is a fine airport to be sure, but after five and a half hours sitting in the airport lounge, waiting for my delayed flight to Shanghai to depart, it was beginning to lose its appeal.

This was only the second time I had headed the two hours or so north from my home base of Hong Kong to the most populous city in the People's Republic of China¹, and the first time had run like a military operation. This time certainly didn't appear to be getting off to such a great start.

Fortunately, my colleague Tom Dugdale (a fellow investment funds lawyer, who was travelling with me) and I got all the bad luck out the way up front. From the moment we descended into Shanghai Pudong International things got back on track.
