We invited some friends who've never been there before as well as some older friends whom we haven't seen much lately. Mr. Tian invited us to sit out back where it was much quieter than inside the bar (the music is so loud you have to scream just to have a conversation that might be audible). He greeted us a bottle of Macallan 1985 private reserve--a nice single malt scotch that they don't serve at the bar. Mr. Tian had gone out to buy this just for us. It was a very nice send off.
Fortunately, Mr. Tian travels to the US every now and then to visit relatives. We told him he must let us know next time he's there so we can try to meet him.

I really hate to say this, but are you sure you want to come back to the States right now? I mean, it seriously sucks here at the moment. Right now, where I live in California, the unemployment rate is 10 percent, the highest in the nation I believe. The state also has one of the worst economies in the nation. And our illustrious leaders don't seem to be doing much to change the situation. It seems like there's just one big collective attitude of "wow, that sucks" and that's it. Anyway, good luck to you, and I mean that.
