1:58 pm Sitting in the old Shanghai airport. It is not nearly as nice as the new Pudong airport. It reminds me of something in America built in the 60's. Not bad but compared to the new one it is very outdated. We breezed through check-in and security here. Getting around is easier than I expected. Andy is a great teacher and we are absorbing as much as we can.
Although we don’t speak any Chinese, we aren’t having too much problem communicating with anybody. All of the signs in this country are in English which is very surprising. It has rained almost every minute we have been in Shanghai. That has disappointed Andy but we don’t mind a bit. I guess we just don’t know any better.
We are boarding the plane in about 30 minutes. This should be interesting. We are basically flying on the Southwest Airlines of China with out the funky CEO and the funny advertisements. The distance from Shanghai to Shenzhen is like flying from Minnesota to Phoenix. It is south and west and we are going from cold and rainy weather to warm and sunny weather.
Shenzhen is the manufacturing capital of China and will be an interesting experience. Anything you want can be found there. Phase two of our master’s degree in China will begin today.
