Today was a good time, I finally got to meet boss man and was he ever nice! We basically just chilled in his office for tea for like 45 minutes and talked about the city and how I liked my place. He flat out told me that I can have anything I ask for, but I will be sure not to ask for much out of respect. My office was also moved to the 14th floor from the 16th to be right next to Mr. Huang, Dir. Ai, and the secretaries. A good change given that the A/C is usually on down here and I have walls around my workstation for a little more privacy than just being in the middle of a big room. Mr. Huang had me taken home by his driver today that he said I may use freely. It's a sexy black Audi with TV screens in the back of the headrests and enough leg room to completely lay down and stretch out in the back seat. I'm not superficial but this could be quite comfortable for the next 2 months.
Tonight I went to hang out with Sean at Baoshan in Yuanbao District and it
was quite a sight. There were tons of people dancing and singing and enjoying life. One of the things I really love about China is how everyone still congregates in public squares at night and has a blast the good old fashioned way. There were so many grandmas and grandpas waltzing and singing, that I could have almost burst into tears of joy on the spot. I really hope that I will be that happy and spry when I'm their age. They looked like they were having the time of their lives. It was basically perfect. Sean and I walked up the mountain to the top and saw the TV tower and it was amazing when lit up at night.
Today was a good day. I am really getting used to this city and I really look forward to the rest of my time here.
