Back from China!

I'm back!! HaHa. The China experience is quite amazing. I shall start from the beginning.

Day 1

Depart Singapore. Arrive Hong Kong. Didn't even have a chance to really take in the sights of Hong Kong before I found myself crossing the border to China. First time I've crossed customs so many times in a day.

After arriving in China, went to the factory and settled down in my room. Its pretty nice, check it out.


Double room occupied by 1 person (Me). Big bed, hot water flask, cupboard...

Day 2

Start work. Went on a tour of the factory to see how things work. Also got to know the people in the factory. Not bad, quite an intersting tour.

Went out to a local restaurant for lunch. Food is really oily and salty. But was already expecting that. Good thing its very cheap.

Day 3

Met up with the customers. Quite intersting experience. Exchange name cards and all. Heh...

My customer from Ecuador. Really nice and friendly guy. First time I've met someone from there. This seems like this is a trip of many firsts.

Day4

Work work work.
Meeting meeting meeting...
Oh well. It is a working trip after all...


Day 5

See above...

Day 6

Pretty intersting day. Had a meeting with people from 6 different countries. Ecuador, Isreal, Philipines, China, Singapore and Japan. Mini UN conference?

I think this fits very nicely with the IWA membership. Right Oyster and Penguin?

Day 7

Pack up and leave. Mad rush to change from mini-van to train to MTR (something like MRT) to bus to plane. Shack...

So there you go, 1 week in China. Think my Mandarin is now a little bit better. Heh...

Too bad I didn't have time to take as many pictures. So that's about all I have for now. I'm quite tired... time to sleep...
