  • Business trip to Shanghai (just before Paris Hilton)

    Is my Nth time to Shanghai..... this year..... since the 1st time I went on July.....

    But this time was quite dramatical.

    Since there were over 2x flights to shanghai everyday, I never thought I would stuck in AP for soooo long.......

    19/11, scheduled take off time : 3:30. We got to airport around 1:xx. We went to lounge for free food. I took extra credits from them...eating... sitting, talking..... suddenly we were notified that flight was delayed tll 5:xx......then 6:xx.... then ........... no more news, we went to the gate. but then we were again notified flight would be delayed till 8:xx. from 1 lounge we went to another one, Again, eat, sit ... even sleep.... this is me.......

    finally got onto flight at 8:xx... took off at 9:xx..... After several big meals in lounge, i still had food on flight.... let's see what they got.

    All so tasty and got garlic bread~~~

    when we got to Shanghai, hotel... was already 1:xx.

    Next day, none stop meetings, with bosses, with colleagues....... kept talking, listening.... thinking..... Lucky I went with uncles and aunties this time, they bought some  delicious beef and lobster. refreshed me abit from the morning meeting with bosses (apparently bosses are my uncles).

    After eating, more meeting, I could finally take a rest around 5:xx..... however, dinner at 6:30. But I was still looking forward to that.

    beef from Japan, and super big shrimps. Everything was nice, and ths hotpot soup was deliciously spicy. I love it~

    No further work at night.

    Next morning, after breakfast, meetings again. Before we left, we had Shanghai' famous crabs.

    Alot fresher and sure, lot lower price than those in HK. I had 3.

    Left hotel at 4:xx, flight was 5:20 but got delayed again..... waiting in AP.... waiting....... in lounge....... until 8:xx again. flight took off......... at 9:1x. This flight is sure newer than the one I came with, look at the control on the seats.

    Right you won't see this in Econ class, this is business class. And so glad bosses chose to take business class "this" time.... normally we took econ and would have no luck to enjoy the lounge. I enjoyed 3 times....erk.............

    The flight delay was annoying. Lucky the good food, the quite lounge, the free food coupons we had cheered me up abit. but I was really tired after waiting in AP for so long.

    I tried this "new" (to me) flavour ice cream on flight. made me so happy~~~

    Government... please.... next time you wanna do military training or fire a missile, could you do it at night? or give notice alittle earlier,that will be appreciated. Thank you.
