    I was three weeks on a business trip in the Guangzhou area.
         I was on a  three-week business trip to the Guangzhou area.

    The first German people after my trip to Guangzhou I saw in Doha. I was immediately pitted!
         The first Germans/group of Germans after my trip to Guangzhou I saw were/was in Doha. I was immediately pissed by them!

    A couple of young German men were sitting near me / next to me in the transit area of the airport. They mocked every third <strike>passing</strike> passer-by that appeared/were not German citizens

     They assumed that no one <strike>understands</strike> understood them so<strike> there</strike> their choice of words was very bad!

    For sure I <strike>was</strike> am happy to see my family and my friends in Germany but about all these good things <strike>is</strike> are now covered  in a veil of sadness.

    I was  in (have been to) so many countries in the world but China <strike>gravitates</strike> pulls me like no other country. (I gravitate towards China, not the other way around :-))

    "A truly talented man is no [one-purpose] tool"..you get the drift. The expression came from The Analects of Confucius (c. 475 BC) and it extols an ideal very similar to the western ideal of "the Renaissance man."

    What the name/or brand of the spirit I am looking for It is a strong drink and uses absinthe as base (not vermouth ); very popular in Europe, France in particular, and banned from production for a while in the early 20th century because of its absinthe content. I read the name somewhere but cannot remember it now, nor can I find it on the internet. Give me your best guess which may jog my memory. Thanks.Maidhc, FYI, I am not drinking it, just want to recall it. It always kills me when something just lurks on the margins of my memory and wouldn't declare itself. Denis, thanks a lot, yours are It , but since James has it in French which was as I first read it so I have to give him the credit.

    Both are correct, but there is a subtle difference: "lighted" is historically used in literature sometimes for rhetoric's sake (Hemingway has this short story A Clean, Well-Lighted Place), while "lit" is more often used in today's common speech.
