On the other hand ,he may decide to go by car

He will certainly need his friend’s help

While in Beijing they plan to visit several Italian restaurants

They may? meet with some of the owners too,but it isn’t certain yet

Most of the owners are Chinese

One or two of them may want to do business with Paul

If he has time ,he may go to the Great Wall of China

It’s a few hours outside of Beijing by car

Altogether the trip may take three or more weeks

Paul still isn’t sure how long he will stay in each country

He may spend a week in Japan and two weeks in China
