Morning
We flew to Shanghai—first class—as you can see in the photo. Someone was really enjoying herself! Apparently, it’s so cheap to fly in country, that everyone flies first class when flying for business. There are so many different flights between the two cities that this airline has a flight leaving every hour, and they are pretty full. As you can imagine, it was a great flight. We went to our hotel, the Longemont, where I dropped Tracy off and left for lunch with the Shanghai team. While at lunch, I went into the bathroom, and saw a sign, shown in the next picture. I thought it was pretty funny, but I’ll let you guess why (tee hee!).
Afternoon
Tracy had a down day—she spent the afternoon in the room chillin’. She spent the afternoon working on Canon’s Christmas stocking, and also walked across the street by herself for lunch (no small feat here!). I had lunch with the Shanghai team, and was introduced to the idea that the food here in Shanghai is sweeter than the food in Beijing, but similar in most other respects. There was one sushi dish that had a sauce with it that brought tears to Daryl’s (my boss) and my eyes—it was a lot like wasabi! After, I got briefings on what the Shanghai team is doing, and we wrapped up the day with dinner on the 36th floor of the Shangri-la hotel, which is downtown, and overlooks the bend in the river, where you can see the old part of town, but also all the high rises behind. Shanghai is a town of lights at night. All the buildings have amazing lights all over them that are constantly moving and changing.
