yeah, i met him, sort of, when i was in zambia. most of chinese in africa i met were peasants (honestly i don't know how they got there) but hu greeted people there like they were from the same village, very down to the earth.
but those fly attendants, pretty, but cold as ice .. i guess i didn't dress up. i never dressed up unless working with the clients.
i use word "greet" instead of "talk" since the word talk in chinese more like "chat" in english.
