Work.

My first day of work was decent, I guess. Spent the morning sorting things out on the desktop in the office, and then the afternoon sorting out whatever I need to be doing. Came face to face with the Chinese corporate relationships in the afternoon and as far as I’m concerned it’s an eye-opener. Everyone in office seems very nice to me and Lee Tong and I’m sure it would stay that way for the remaining of the year.

Went to Jingan Temple for dinner with Qingyuan and initially when he brought us to the restaurant we went to, we had a shock because it looked like a horribly posh restaurant. But after all the eating, the bill came and it was only about 160 RMB! That’s why I still think eating in China is about the best past-time you can ever have because the food is nice and cheap. Of course you can always have something that’s expensive, but the variety is so wide that you can really choose how expensive or how cheap you want. That said, the most expensive meal that I have to pay so far is still about 35 RMB, which is about 7 SGD. Considering whatever I ate, 35 RMB is way worth it.

Took the Metro back from Jingan Temple to Zhongshan Park and noticed the following:

An empty Metro station! You don’t see that often here in Shanghai, I can tell you!

Work tomorrow. Don’t know if I’m looking forward to it or not. Not if it’s going to rain tomorrow again.
