I
walked up to the front door and was welcomed in by a very gracious receptionist.
She led me past a set of display cases which held many of Jackie's promotional
items: dolls, statues, t-shirts, and hats. The receptionist offered me a
piece of candy from a unique candy dispenser at her desk. (I was told it
was designed by Jackie!) I was led into a waiting area and offered something
to drink; nearby there was a kitchen with a glass-fronted refrigerator stocked
with fruit and healthy drinks. I asked for some water and as I sipped it,
I noticed a half-full jar of very delicious looking cookies sitting on the
counter. I immediately recognized these as the mouth-watering macadamia
nut cookies baked by USA Fan Club member Judy from Hawaii! It sure looked
like everyone at the office was enjoying her gift. |

Here
are some toys, including those from the Jackie Chan Adventure cartoon.
You can also see several statues of Jackie. I found one
of them at the Temple Street Night Market and bought a whole bunch!

is the set of plates that we were told Jackie designed. Kids Club member
Lisa Schwark won a set at the Fan Club party raffle!

As I sat
waiting in a very comfortable chair, I had a chance to look around at
all the furnishings and decorations. Soon Solon's assistant came in to
greet me. He was very friendly and I immediately felt at home. He explained
how the schedule for the week would work and he gave me all the necessary
information. As we sat talking, the front door opened and in walked Papa
Chan! He came right over, said hello, and shook my hand. We talked for
a few minutes and then he peeked into the office, turned around and left
with his driver - just like that! Wow! I was pretty excited to meet Jackie's
Dad and to find out that he was a very funny and friendly guy, much like
his son.
