> In Beijing, the attire for the banquet is business attire so you definitely don’t need to wear long dresses or anything formal. I also have attached some travel information from the Community Liaison Office at the Beijing Embassy to help you plan your independent time. I should have similar information for the other cities tomorrow. We will also be putting together a memo for you and Naomi to review with the Vice President on the plane so that you can decide which activities to do together.

> Regarding hotels, your adjoining room in Beijing is confirmed and they will take care of billing when you arrive. In Chengdu, there is an adjoining room but they are still determining if it is considered part of the suite or not, so I will let you know tomorrow if there is an additional cost so that you can decide if you’d like it or not. In Japan, I have confirmed that the suite will have two bedrooms so there will be no need to get an extra room. The full list of hotels is below so that you can take a look at them – all three are very nice!
