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.
I moved into a small apartment, [...]

Home - impressions

I have been back home for almost two weeks, but been very lazy to write. As usual. Getting more and more lazy.
So what are the news? My mother’s trying to feed me like one tries to feed a turkey before Thanksgiving. :D (Moi ki ti croire mo pou kapav plati ventre ene ti p :P)
Forgot [...]

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 [...]

Culture Difference - From a friend’s blog

(This is extracted from a Chinese friend’s blog)
Culture Difference
What the heck! This topic again! This is not plague! This is not a curse spelt by the invisible evil witch! This is not the joke played by the demon! It’s all in your head! Your respectless head!
I wasn’t going to start my article this way, [...]

My first time in a recording studio

As I mentioned before, I went to a recording studio where a friend of mine was having a session for her job. She had to have some people (mix of foreigners and locals) discuss a theme, then some English speakers to read some English articles.
I tried to be relax, but you could sense the stress [...]

ACCA Beijing Office

I am registered with the Beijing office. I have been there twice, the last time being yesterday (Saturday). There are 3 people working there, on Saturdays only one of them work half-day. The difference between the Beijing office and the Shanghai office, is that the SH office is larger and has many people [...]

Update of last couple of days

Some time after 6pm, I tried to sms my fudao to arrange to meet after dinner, but found out that I could not send any message on my phone. After checking out, I realised that both of my mobile phones were out of credit - I had used both of them during the early morning [...]

Moving to Beijing

I plan to move to Beijing at the end of this week, where I will be spending the next few months taking mandarin courses and looking for a job there. Now, many people have been (more than) a little surprised. If for learning mandarin, why not stay in Shanghai and do it there? I mean, [...]
