慢遞員何小姐約好了慢遞員白先生吃飯和接慢遞力,遲到了差不多一個小時但是在上環的一個公共休息區取好緩件號HQL-295和HQL-298,之後走到西營盤轉送HQL-298給慢遞員張小姐
Relay courier Ms. HO is about one hour late for a dinner appointment with courier BAXTER, but successfully picks up HQL-295 and HQL-298 in a public rest area in Sheung Wan before walking over to neighbouring Sai Ying Pun for relay of HQL-298 to final courier Ms. ZHANG

Update from Courier Mr. BAXTER: Picked up the packages in two different Beijing coffee shops, one in Chunxiu Lu (the art work, HQL-298), one at Dongzhimen (the two books, HQL-295); on Thursday morning I caught an early flight out of Beijing, packages tightly squeezed into my cabin luggage; arrived in HK at midday Thursday, first stop Admiralty/LegCo, before moving to a cafe to work and then up to CUHK where I’m attending a workshop on anthropology research methods.
The packages came with me and now sit under a narrow and hard bed in CUHK student dorms until they reach their next minder on Wednesday or Thursday next week.
This 慢遞 started in an uncharacteristic rush, but has slowed down into a compensating pause now

Courier Mr. BAXTER's Encounter Report: We talked everything from Vietnamese poetry to Google censoring in Vietnam to Chongqing-Chengdu rap rivalries
2019-06-10,12:51:
Courier Ms. XU and pick-up relay Mr. BAXTER manage to meet in the few days Mr. BAXTER has in Beijing after leaving Myanmar and the upcoming trip to Hong Kong. They organise a handover over lunch at the Wagas café at Dongzhimen, with Mr. BAXTER's identifying call being: "I'm sitting by the window, black T-shirt and macbook out"

慢遞員更新:「我現在從紐瓦克機場報導,差不多登機回家啦,過16個小時就到PEK!」
Courier Update:And I am writing from Newark Airport right now, will board my plane home - PEK in 16 hours!
Update from Publisher-Sender:I'm reporting back from a lovely afternoon tea / book handover with photo documentation here :Đ I think Sixing has one as well.
When the two books arrive in Beijing, LIGHT LOGISTICS can post another notice for some hands carrying to Hong Kong, is that right?
Thank you again for keeping such a beautiful distribution network system that involves good conversation and new friends.
