"Oh, Geberit will spend over 100 million yuan to set up an Asia headquarter in Shanghai...
It helps Bird Nest and the 2010 expo in sanitation.. Its motto is RESPECTING THE WATER..."
Weeks ago I tried to go through Geberit's web very carefully
in order to familiarize myself for this special occasion.

Soon I gave it up.
Since I convinced myself that what the guy from Geberit wanted to learn is only about me,
the NZ expedition and coming projects.

Today,it turned out to be right.
I met up Christian Kober, German, COO Geberit Asia Pacific,
He had a business trip to Shenzhen, my city, so by the way enjoyed lunch together in Pizza Hut.

 Start with some casual questions like
"What is the most best/ worst part in NZ?"
"Did it change your life in some way?"
"How do your parents react?"
He was very cute then,
"Sorry I know you must be asked this question many times...
but I'm wondering why your English is so good? With American accent?Maybe I can tell my daughter..."
"What kind of person is Mike? I haven't met him yet, so..."
"The idea to work with Mike came from our CEO, who likes to invite special people to give speech.
And it was once Mike... Everyone found it crazy to have Pangaea project at the very beginning..."

After some pasta, pizza,cakes,
I dived straightforward to the point with a laptop, showing him my records on Geberit's toilets,
what I've done after the expedition, Pangaea's HK promotion,
http://yep.mikehorn.com/video/gallery/Pangaea-HK-promotion,
and most importantly,
a plan that I found possible to collaborate with Geberit in water sanitation within one of my existing project. http://yep.mikehorn.com/video/gallery/share-of-love

And at last, 
Christian:"Geberit would like to invite you to Pangaea's  stopover in Shanghai, probably in Sept. 2010."
Jun:"Sure, I shall join."
Christian:"Maybe it's not like a promotion for Geberit, cuz it's already famous around the world."
I laughed~~ 
"We simply just want Mike to share his experience with some invited guests like architecturers, designers and explorers.
Not much for the product part but inspire people."

Then, I felt very respectful towards Geberit.
Its wisdom rebuked any wordly ideas or any company whose only goal is for profits.
The same thing shines on Mike as well.

That's all for that day. 1 hour and a half.
Our future project must be promising！

PS:
Dear young explorers,
if you have any projects, you could try to contact Pangaea's sponsors locally.
They must be very happy to hear from you, no matter how small projects you have!
The existing powers are unique and specially made for us!

Have a try!

I hear the shark fin project and will try to do something about it!
