Breaking Ground
I don't usually blog about my business activities here in Xinjiang, preferring to keep to things either very public (e.g. train derailments) or very personal (e.g. orange toxic mold under my bed). My general thinking is ― and I think lots of other bloggers agree with me on this ― what good could possibly come from blogging about my business? Lord knows I'm already worried enough about customers searching for my name in Google and coming up with goofy old pictures of me and Tom Brokaw.
In any case, I'm only now touching lightly upon the topic of my business because today we held a groundbreaking ceremony for our fancy-schmancy new sundried tomato plant. I snapped the above photo on my Motorola SLVR... it was like a little parade in honor of me and my colleagues. There were Mongol beauties (pink), Uyghur beauties (multicolored), a terrible elementary school brass band, firecrackers, backhoes... ribbons to be cut. Heck, I even made a small speech in Chinese and shoveled dirt for the local TV and newspaper reporters who were ordered to cover the event.
Of course, afterwards came the baijiu, lunch, the inevitable loss of that lunch, and a five-hour nap. But whaddya gonna do? Not a bad day overall.

Random inputs on starting a business in western China are very welcome, even if spoken of in generalities.
Much luck!

It is great to know that you are leading the development of agri-business in Xinjiang. I have visited the area twice for our company and I have enjoyed the area very much.

You are quite right about that photo - hair like that is quite a liability in some circles, and yours is almost as bad.
But seriously, I would also be interested to read more about how the business is coming along.
