In our third week here in Wuxi we had the opportunity to play football. It was really exhausting. The temperatures were around 36 degrees Celsius and the felt temperature was 48 degrees. But we enjoyed the game anyway because we were able to meet new people and we had a lot of fun.
Zhou Henry invited us to this football game. Henry is also working for Bühler and Jeremy met him during a task he had to do for his project.
All of us agreed to this opportunity to have some fun after work. And so we met Henry and his friends at the football field on Monday evening.
With this interview we will introduce Henry to you.
For us it is also a good way to get to know a bit more about Henry. We do this blog post in English to give him the possibility to read the article.

It would be Chengdu. It is a city in the middle of China. They have very delicious food and the whole city has a beautiful scenery. The city has a long and interesting history.
