I am an american expat living at the Dalian American International School near the resort the US team was staying at. It was a proud couple of weeks to have the USA team here in Dalian. Currently there are not many american expats and quite possibly the population of your team equaled the current US expat population! Hope you enjoyed your stay and best of luck! Go USA! PS - Dalian is only about 3 million in the downtown area and an additional 3.5 million in the surrounding areas. Still a big city by US standards... Hi Benny,

I'm sure he is ready from your assistance. Thank you for the referral to Whitney Lowe. I look forward to meeting with you again and reading more about your experiences in Dalian and Bejing. Take care of those fine men and women for us. Go U.S.A. and go Benny Vaughn! Benny,
