2 Days in Shanghai!

My flight was 1am yesterday. I ran into the HR Director of my Ex-company at the boarding gate, he is also on the same plane to Shanghai! What a coincidence. The couple who sat besides me happen to be from my hometown, we had a very good chat. I tried to work on the PPT, but my brain couldn’t function properly in the sky, so I gave it up.

 

I had breakfast (Sheng jian bao!) with a highschool classmate who has been working in Shanghai for quite some time. He is such a caring friend and gentleman, brought me around to get familiar with the place and view some apartments. I was so tired that I doesed off a few times on the cab.

 

It was the 15th day of lunar new year. I saw many firecrackers from the window of my hotel. It seems to be welcoming me to Shanghai:)

 

Initially I was not used to the weather (about 8 degree, cloudy) and I had to shield myself from head to toe. Worse still, the aircon in my room broke down and I had to work on my bed with thick blankets covering me. It was miserable. However, things get better today, I even started to enjoy the chilled air! After all, It has been a long time since I last experienced this kind of cold breeze.  

 

Today marked the very first day of our Shanghai operation. The office is located at the center of the center:). It’s just next to the Xin Tian Di (a better version of Clarke Quay). I told my colleague that we should go for a drink when we have more time. For now, let’s just focus on the deadlines.

 

Thank God for this good start. I belive we can start well and finish well eventually!

 

When I stepped out of the office building in the night just now, I couldn’t help but shouted "wow" -  What a beautiful street (huai hai zhong lu)! Many mini lanterns hang on the trees along the road, it’s just so cute! I wish I had a camera with me.
