Light note 2

Actually, I’m not that happy. Yesterday we had a meeting to tell the staff that SH office is being closed and that they’re all being fired. Haha! Well, it’s more or less the truth. We gave them notice of closure yesterday, and today we have already started moving office furniture out of the office building. [...]

Good luck Pedro

Came upon an article on a couple of Mexican restaurants in China.
Living Life to the Mex
Would like to wish my friend Pedro all the best in his enterprise. He lives too far away for me to be a regular customer of his. But if he does indeed open a new branch in the city centre, [...]

December already

It’s December already. Soon it will be a year since I came back to Shanghai for work. How time flies. What have I achieved during that period? Not much, I have to admit. I am far away from completing my goals. Still lots of work to be done although progress are finally being made. Having [...]

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 [...]
