Hi Rafi.

I hope the last mail I have sent you with the hotel name helped.

I know you are working on the schedule, if it is possible to have update about the plan I will be happy. Due to the independence day this week, tomorrow will be our last day in the INDC and I would like to prepare the updated schedule to everyone.

Hope it is OK.

Thank you

Guy

Hello Rafi.

Thank you for your answer.

I believe that meeting both Ahuva and Ester in the hotel can be great, maybe we can meet one of the locals officers also in the hotel and than eat lunch there.

Next week on Saturday night we will fly to Beijing, hoping we will be able to finalize everything before.

Thank you again and if there anything I can assist please let me know.

Have a nice weekend

Shabat Shalom

Guy

Regarding lunch, I think it is an excellent idea.  I already spoken to Ester Burke, Consul (Economic) who will be happy to brief the group at the hotel.

 

I am still working to finalize the programme, as soon as I have all the details, will send it over to you.

 

Shabbat Shalom

Hello Rafi

I hope you had a happy and kosher passover and that everything went well.

 

I will be happy to know if there is anything new regarding our day in HK?

 

I have also a question regarding lunch, where do you plan us to eat? There is a possibility for us to eat lunch in the hotel (because we are paying for a conference room for Ahuva briefing) can it be possible? Because it is easier for Mabal to take care for the payment.

 

Thanks and have a nice week.

Guy

Dear Guy

 

Thank you for your prompt response.

 

I understand transportation is taken care of.  Regarding Ester, she can join us for lunch or dinner or any other arrangements that you wish with her.  She is a lovely person, intelligent, and has a lot information about Hong Kong and South East Asia.

 

I will update you as soon as I have some more information from different department that we applied to meet with. 

 

I wish you a happy and Kosher Passover.

 

Best

Rafi

Hello Rafi.

Thank for your answer.

The plan looks great.

Regarding the transportation we will have a big bus from the airport to the hotel. We are flying in flight CA117 from Beijing landing 21:05.

I still have to check with Ahuva if someone can meet us in the airport.

The day after we will have a bus for the entire day, it looks like we will need it? and also as I wrote yesterday the hotel conference room, If we will not need the room I will be happy to cancel it  and save some money for Mabal.(it looks like only for the meeting with Ahuva it will be needed)

At around 1800 2 guys which one of them is flying back to Israel in 21:00 will leave us, the rest are staying for the weekend and will join to the dinner.

Regarding Ester Perets, I will check it and will give you an answer soon. I believe meeting her can be beneficial but I am not sure if during lunch time will be OK for it.

Tomorrow I am presenting the plan to the MG Itai Virob.HEAD OF MABAL who is also arriving with us for the visit. If we will have any more questions I will update you.

Thanks again for your great help

Guy

Dear Rafael

Thanks for caring and asking. There is no need to bother with Kosher food. Some members of the group will be satisfied with vegetarian-like food.

I cc Colonel Guy Levy to this mail for further correspondence.

Take care

Rafi

Could you tell me if you need Kosher food for the group for lunch or dinner on 16 May or not necessary?

Dear Raphael

 

I received your e-mail dated 28 March which I thank you for.

 

I am a bit disappointed that you are not coming with the group.  Regarding your request to pass me over to Colonel Guy Levi, I have no objection.

 

In general, my hands are quite full at the moment.  You can always try to call upon me, and I will be very honest with you.  If I can help, I would be happy to do so.

 

In the meantime, please give me a few days to work on your requests, I will get back to you as soon as I have something on my hands.

 

Shabbat Shalom.

 

Best

Rafi

Dear Rafi,

Reviewing  the list of participants I guess you've noticed I'm not among them. It fell upon me to be part of another group that will travel to Russia. I wonder if it will be OK by you to continue the contact with Colonel Guy Levi who is the focal point and coordinator of the visit to China. If so I'll give him your details. If, on the other hand and for some reason, you prefer to maintain our channel, please do not hesitate to indicate it and we'll act accordingly.

Enjoy the weekend

Rafi
