Gift for Chinese master?

Master of Arts
In the fall, my wife and I are joining a bunch of Americans (we're Canadian) flying over to China for a couple of weeks. We'll be visiting Dr. Wan Su-Jian, staying in the dormitory section of his clinic just outside Beijing. The trip will consist of massages, qigong treatments, some qigong instruction and some touristy stuff (including a couple of shopping trips) in and outside Beijing. All food and accommodation (in the clinic and outside) is included in the cost of the trip.

We made the trip once before, in 2007, and brought gifts for Master Wan and his staff: Canada pins and t-shirts for the staff, and some nice smoked salmon for him. Without going into details, I don't think we'll do the smoked salmon next time. We've considered maple candies, but they might be too sweet for the gang over there. They like Canadian (or American, of course) stuff, though. The pins went over big with the staff.

Do you folks have any gift suggestions?

First I’m jealous; I want to go to back to Beijing

Last I knew Maple Candy from Canada was big in China but that was a while back. We tend to bring Candy when we go as gifts for family.

Enjoy Beijing, that tiny little town North Of Hebei, oh and if you see him, say hi to my Brother-in-law...he live out past aroud the 5th circle :D
 
Take him a nice single malt Scotch. Alcohol is always well received as gifts, even if the teacher doesn't drink.
 
As a Scot, I have to agree with clfsean. The trouble with choosing malt whisky is that there are no bad ones. Just grades of goodness!!!!!!

Very best wishes
 
Yeah hey don't forget to hook a brother up for the suggestion... :bangahead::cheers:


hehehehehehehehehe
