Work-Life Balance (cont')

My work-life balance initiative didn't work in the first workday after I was back from Shanghai. I finally left office at 11pm. Let's see ...

2nd Visit to Shanghai in 3 months

After the Shanghai visit in Jan this year, I spent another 3 days this week with my colleague Christy in Shanghai.

Grace (a HK colleague working in our Shanghai office) helped us book a room in Regal East Asia Hotel (a good one: clean & spacious) located in HengShan Road. Probably 'cos our rooms were booked via our office in Shanghai, we got upgraded to executive floor with a better room (thank you Grace for your help!)

We spent most of our time during office hours in a vendor's office located in Pudong . After work, I had a walk in Nanjing Road and the Bund ... had some Xiao Lung Bao (Steamed Soup Dumpling) ... Grace took us to Xiao Nan Guo 小南? for Shanghaiese cuisine on the 2nd day afternoon. We decided not to have Chinese food again on the 2nd night ... and had some Turkish food in Hengshan Road.

The more I see in China, the more I believe in the promising developments of China. People are getting more wealthy and no doubt people will have a higher spending power in the years to come.

Quick Journey to Guangzhou and Shanghai

Haven't update this blog for quite some time ... I did a day-trip to Guangzhou with colleagues on Jan 12 and spent a night on Jan 17 in Shanghai.

The Shanghai journey was a good one ... have been under huge pressure at work in Hong Kong but once I got on the plane, I was relieved (at least for 2 days!). Transportation for the whole journey was very smooth (thanks to Alex!). The food was remarkable ... everything was good ... it would be even better if I could stay there for the weekend with Alex.
