Updates!

Couldnt get online for the past few days due to the fact that NPVPN wasnt working for me. Then realised that I had another proxy to use.

Day 12, 1st Oct

Today was results day, everyone got their results back, some were happy, some were not. I am rather neutral with my grades. Okay maybe the shouting profanities 0630 in the morning says otherwise. I really did well, but could have been better.

Short 2 hour lesson today, learning things on Long Report, not sure why but I had a good feeling about the long report! Can't wait to really work on it!

Day 11, 30th Sept

Today there isnt any lesson! It was just a short 30 mins visit to Bao Steel company, cool operations. But we were there on a mission, to find out about staff salary and perks there. There isnt much that can be put into the business proposal, but it definitely sparked an idea!

Day 10, 29 Sept

Today was the day of the letter writing assessment, I wouldnt say I was totally confident, and also I wouldnt say I would definitely flunk it. I was able to do all basics, understanding the content, identify the components and write a decent letter. but I was sure I could have done better in terms of sentence structure if I worked harder.

Day 9, 28 Sept

Cultural Class, was... informative. Actually, it was just plain information, there is no really any organisation of the things taught. But it did teach me what to look for when identifying cultural differences, architecture etc But actually it was rather common sense.

Visit to Suzhou industrial area was way more informative. Got to learn this cool concept of Free Trade Zone, which I think contributes a lot to china, as they wouldnt need to create jobs here themselves. Other concepts of Port without harbour and Airport without runway also made me said,'wow'. This is the exact remedy for big country like china. No need to bring goods here and there. Just bring it to one place, have it cleared at one place.

Day 8, 27 Sept

Bcomm lesson was on card exchanging, etiquette and conversation. Its actually rather important, why? Because formal business meeting are plain boring, and deals can be close over a cigarette break! So business dinners can be used to make a difference too!
