    Subject: Report of visit to Dubai and Muscat
    Hi Brian
    Its a beautiful evening here in Muscat and Im writing this from the balcony of my hotel. So
    far the trip has been fairly successful. Let me summarise the first two days for you:
    After Id arrived in Dubai yesterday I went straight to a meeting with Asif Trading Co. I met
    the owner, Mr Asif, and he has an interesting business background in quite a few different
    countries in the region. He knows the markets well and he sells machine parts to lots of
    different industries. The market for generators is new for him. Unfortunately, he doesnt
    have a client list at the moment, but one advantage is that hes very enthusiastic about a
    partnership. I think we should work with him.
    Later in the afternoon I visited the people at Raysut Electronics. They were very friendly,
    but sadly, the meeting wasnt very useful. I dont think they want a partnership.
    This morning started badly. My flight from Dubai to Muscat was two hours late so I missed
    the meeting with Doruk. I telephoned him and left a message. Eventually, I had lunch at the
    hotel with two people from HGA. You thought they were a supplier but in fact they are an
    oil pipeline company and they want to buy components from us. Luckily, the meeting was
    excellent and Im visiting their headquarters in Port Sultan Qaboos tomorrow morning.
    Thats all for now. Hopefully, Ill meet Doruk tomorrow afternoon. Hope the weather is OK
    with you.
