A Shanghai Thursday
Woke up at 8am, but thought it was only 7....since my phone suddenly decided to change time, so started to chech my email and what not. Then I looked at the time on my computer and realized it was 8.15 and not 7.15...great, run into the shower and got ready for another day of work in the office. I didn't have tim to have breakfast so I ran down to the lady outside the buildning to buy these tasty pancakes....yummie! A pancake, an ice tea and a paper with the address in Chinees I got a hold of a cab. 15 minutes later I was in the office. Spent the whole day with the accountant and some sales people. Then @ 4pm, they closed down all their computers and had a small cocktail "party" since it's holiday tomorrow and they wanted to have a small get together for about 1 hour. As soon as I receive all th epics from Sarah I will post a few on the staff too.
Then at 5.50 I jumped into a cab to this party we planned to attend, normally the taxi ride would be 15-20minutes...but rush hour as it is...it took me freakin 1 hour and 15 minutes.Geeez, guess if I where mad and tired. Well at the party we had some nice bbq and some drinks...now a feeeew hours later, we're home...picked up some chinees food and getting ready to pass out!

A day @ Transas Shanghai
Got up @ 8 this morning, so I could go to the office we have in Shanghai. The taxi ride there took about 20 minutes through the city and cost 39 kronor..talk about cheap! The start rate when you take a taxi is 11 but before it even starts to add up money, you have probably already driven 10 blocks or so...at least. Imagine if it was cheap like this in Sweden to take a cab, then I would take a cab to work every morning instead of having a car.
For luch we went to this buildning, 2nd floor and had this amazing chinees food. The best so far o this trip, but I only been here for 2,5 day so I still have a few places to visit and taste their food. lol.
I held training on Microsoft Navision for the staff in the Shanghai office today, 10 people trying to understand what Navision is all about...they did well I have to say. Tomorrow I will go back to have a second day, most of all for the accountant but also some Microsoft CRM and Navision training for the tech guys. I wonder how I should have time for all this...only time will tell.
And now I'm going to surf for bags, we found a tailor that can tailor make shoes and bags for about 500 per piece...so now I need some inspiration. You got any ideas?

Qipu Lu Market
Or what the name was...this is where we spent 6 hours today, shopping and arguing about prices...lol. I have to say that I'm very surprised how the Chinees people must always be the first in line...or, to be correct no line at all, just puch until your first. Like on the bus, I saw 15 people trying to get on the bus at the same time, ushing eachother...It was not even half full the bus, so I'm not sure what the deal was. And geez, I don't think I ever seen so much people at one place...they are everywere! And some people don't seem to understand we don't want a personal shopper...haha. Following us, waiting outside a shop until we're finished, keep walking and talking to us. We ignore them, they still walk in front of us talking...in Chinees.
I found a KFC for lunch and guess if I was happy...I love fried chicken (btw, I had fried chicken every day when I was in Seattle in January). After lunch we went back for more shopping. I would take some pics and post here, but someone forgot the cord in Sweden, so transferring the pics from the cam to the computer is impossible right now. Clever me, yeah I know.
Just emailed KLM about my lost Ipod too, I don't think they will find it...who would hand in a found ipod? Maybe if one of the staff finds it, but naw, i don't have any bigger hopes about it. But still, I don't want to spend money on e new ipod when I had a good, fully functional, working ipod. Or to be more exact, I don't have any money to buy a new one, I think that has to wait until after the summer. Geez, I can't manage that long...Goint to the Mac store where I can find the real deal!
Oh my phone broke down today...I thought. I think it was cause I put in a Chinees SIM card and the phone refuses to be charged..it just wouldn't work. So I changed back to my Swedish SIM to charge the phone and it's working. I gotta take a look at that tomorrow. Me and electronics...great combo...not!

First day in Shanghai
Ni hao!!!! Hi, on Chinees is what that means. The weather is perfect for jeans and a t-shirt, or tight and a dress that is. Arrived at 10am, local time, but my brain and body was wtill set on the Swedish time, 4am....couldn't sleep mayn hours on the plane, not as I am use to. So once at the house, we had some noodles and I got to take a nap. Unfortunatley I don't have the coord so I can tgransfer any pics from my camera to the cumputer, so you have to wait until I get home...soooorry about that. Or feel sorry about me that I lost mhy ipod in the airport in Amsterdam. It must have been there cause I ad it there and then next time I looked for it, on the plane up in the air, it was gone! Crap crap crap!!!
Holla @ my on my Chinees number... My Swedish mobile number is turned off here, so if you want my number, holla and I will email it to you!

I have to go and get some stuff for the Swedish people in Shanghai, got orders for Grillkrydda, Bearnaisesås and smågodis...hehe.

Only 2 days left
Friday and Saturday, then I'm off for the big country in the east, China! I will go to Shanghai for 2 weeks and I guess there will be a lot of shopping, eating out, sight seeing in Shanghai and hopefully a trip to Korea the last weekend when I'm there. Shit, it reminds me of I have to make the flight reservation.
Today me, Anna and Sofia went to a teamBox class and guess how I'm feeling now? I would say a bit like parkinson, cause I'm shaking like nothing before...Or yeah, everytime I box by body gets completely wack. lol.
