Hi to all!! hm..this is my I should say, 2nd time blogging experience. The first was short-lived though. I'm currently in Wuxi, China doing my Overseas Internship Placement Program (OIPP). I will try my best to update my blog as much as possible as I only get to use the Internet from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm every week. haha. This is the the start of my third week here, around 9 weeks left till the end of my internship. I shall start by talking briefly about my first 2 weeks here =p hope its not too boring.

First week...

Checked in with the other guys at around 2350, May 8 2007. AH~ that moment was…….hmm……..tried to hold back my tears but it overpowered me. Exchanged hugs and kisses with myt family members then headed in the Departure hall.

Boarded the plane at around 0030, ya, by the way, we tooked China Eastern Airlines. The plane was stuffy and warm, abit cramp too I would say. I also heard the flight attendant announcing that they were apologetic for the currently malfunctioning air-con (will be ok once the plane takes flight). LOL. Had western breakfast on board.

Arrived at the Shanghai Pudong Airport at 0630, 9 May 2007, located the driver and headed for GulTech (my attached company). Hmm.. the driver seat here is on the left side, hope I can get to try it xD
Reached the dormitory after 3 hours plus of "reckless" car rides, red-light beating, illegal turning and stuffs, haha..but it was a good experience. I miss driving.. Started unpacking, did up our beds once we got our room (8 people staying in 1 room) and rested for the rest of the day.

Now to the first weekend, our first destination was Metro, pronounced as "Mai De Long". We took a 3 wheel vehicle called "Xiao Fei Long" there. We went exploring the place and had our lunch around that area.
