As promised here are photos of Inner Mongolia. I have found it very interesting that as I have communicated with everyone about where I am at these days, many people have assumed that I am in Mongolia. Well, I am very close but not quite, Inner Mongolia is just south of Mongolia but it is still part of China. I would guess that at one point they were about the same in terms of culture, it is hard for me to say now because I have never been to Mongolia, but I would imagine this area is a bit more Chinese like. There still is a locally practiced religion where they worship using some piles of stones and it is more nature based. I don't know that much about it I just asked about the stone piles which are here and there.

Kicking it in Inner Mongolia

I am realizing that as I learn more and more about the wind farm and the wind turbines that I really don't know much at all and there is so much more to understand. I don't know if a month and a half is really enough. It is really just an introduction I think. I am also finding that I need to be proactive to learn about things, and find a way of integrating what needs to be done with the international market into what I am doing here. That sounds easy until you realize that it is a little bit hard to define exactly what needs to be done for the international market. I have learned from interviewing some of the local guys who have worked with foreign companies locally that because of our quality we will need to approach customer service in a different way. Foreign companies are able to put their turbines and leave after testing them. I think that we will have to stay a bit longer, otherwise develop a very good training program, but then how we train all depends on what contries we go to too, whether or not they are already familiar with the wind industry or not. I hope that you enjoy the pictures.
