Misc. pictures
Some miscellaneous pictures I had in my handphone. Not very nice, but was bored.
The glaring yellowish thing on the floor IS snow. Picture taken of the train depot opposite my house.
Misty pictures of the Ferris Wheel in Jinjiang Amusement Park. That’s how most days are in Shanghai currently. Try to find the wheel in the [...]

Snowing now
It’s been very cold in Shanghai lately, and today it snowed a little in the morning, and it is snowing right now. I would have taken a distant shot of the building where trains stop if I had my camera with me, but I left it in Mauritius. There’s a little layer of snow that [...]

Update
Picture taken from 9tour.cn
It’s been a long time since I posted anything. Been busy/lazy/whatever ….
I am now in Shanghai, feeling darn cold. I will spare the rants about Air Mauritius’s lack of Chinese music and movie channels not properly identifiable. There is no HK destination on the list of flights.

Job offer - bad news
What I was fearing came up. The company who was going to employ me have met problems with the registration and will need about 6 more months before being operational. I need to consider my options. Maybe I will go back home and enjoy being at home. I am all messed up right now…..

Visa Issues
I just heard from a Mauritian who’s currently in HK that it’s no longer possible for Mauritians to get an F-visa through visa agents there. That’s really bad news. Like many people here in China, we are here on an F visa (business visa). This does not allow us to work officially, but many people [...]

Feels like night time, but it’s only 1.00pm (Yesterday June 27th)
Yesterday the sky suddenly became very dark and soon it was as if we were in the evening. But it was just past lunchtime. Then the rain started falling down in big droplets with the accompanying “shaaa” sound. I liked it. Because rain not only clean the city a little, but it also [...]
