Business dinners The past days were crazy workwise, I just realize I had 7 business dinners in the past 8 days. Always in very nice locations (M on the Bund, 3 on the Bund, Bund 18, Shintori, Kathleen 5 etc.) and mostly with nice and interesting people, but still it is tiring. Tonight I thought I would have a night off, so I was planning to do some sports, get a foot massage and then go to bed early. But just got a phone call from a potential client that he is in town, so I guess that I will need to change my plans a bit. Most of our business guests are from Europe, and they are all impressed by Shanghai. None of them seems to realize how advanced this city is, and what the possibilities are, before they arrive here. I always tell them that the mood here is so positive: things are booming and people see opportunities instead of threats. That is the thing I love most about China. The sky is the limit if you are willing to take risks. And I do not mind taking that! 11:43:14 AM    comment []
