Day 2, 3, 4 and 5
Tuesday, 7th March 2006
First day at work in Guangzhou. Woke up real early at 6.00 a.m. Breakfast at 7.00 a.m., company provides a bus ride to the factory at 7.40 a.m.
8.45 a.m. We landed at work rather late, traffic jam. Instead of going through the round of introductions first, the three of us sat down for discussion on our strategy to approach the work.
-work- -work- -work- -work- -work- -work- -work- -work- -work- -work-
1.00 p.m. Using the voucher provided to us, we went to the canteen for lunch. I-don’t-like-the-food. Still, its free.
-work- -work- -work- -work- -work- -work- -work- -work- -work- -work-
5.30 p.m. Packed up in a hurry and took the same bus back to the hotel.
7.00 p.m. Colleague took us out for dinner.
9.30 p.m. Back to hotel, took a nice long bath. Spoke to hubby. ZZzzZZzzz

Repeat of the same day yesterday. Managed to go through the round of introductions. I think I must have been introduced to like 50 people since Monday. I can’t remember them all…. Still, at least I managed to take some pictures while in the bus on the way to work today. Some ’sights of China’. Will post it up soon.
Good news is the problem with the accommodation has been sorted out. The client will pay first. *phew* hehe

Same thing day in day out … Took some more pictures on the way back from work. Wanted to take pictures after I went on a tour to the factory. Dressed us up like doctors or lab-technicians, depending on your view. With a cap nevertheless. Thought I looked kinda cute. But apparently the rules are strict in the factory. The grounds are confidential, so no pictures.

What tedium. I am growing mould on my back and mushrooms on my head … Well at least it’s the weekend. Have to wake up at 6.00 a.m. to get some final briefing from the manager. *yawnz*
Another two weeks of these … *roll eyes* Not so bad when I have to work, usually ready to collapse by 9.00 p.m. Work is so hectic!
Manager and colleague (now ex) will be leaving tomorrow. Wonder what I will do tomorrow. Maybe I will be a little bit more adventurous and walk around Guangzhou. Take some more ’sights of China’ pics. hehe.
