Peking Tan - No Ducks Allowed!: 06/04/08

Company visit 1: C orning.

Nothing much worth talking about. (the guys there were pretty concerned bout their patents and us spreading their trade secrets)
Erm except that one of the guys broke a panel of glass on display and the lady in charge didn't look too happy bout that.

Company visit 2: Y anjing Beer - Nothing excites the Americans more than Beer

Main building

Check out their "very small" compound. This is what I call the F4 minus 1 shot.
Listening attentively to talk. While taking pictures. huh.

Main building @ model scale
That's part of their entire compound. Couldn't capture it all. FYI, y anjing use to be an SOE (state owned enterprise). It is now listed on HK stock exchange. But some 40 plus % is own by a state owned company -- I was listening

Computer systemsThat's their CCTVs
This lady was looking at us looking at her. Amusing
Free beer. Compliments from y anjing. Nothing in the world is for free. If it is.....you know what i'm implying don't ya?

Random 5: Bus ran out of diesel! Better yet, the petrol stations also do not have diesel.

On the way to y anjing, the driver drove in and out of 2 petrol stations but didn't once stop for gas. Thought that was very curious. We later learnt that he was looking for diesel but none of the stations offered it. So the bus stalled for some 45 mins along some country roadside on our way back to the hotel

Jesse (MBA student and my default gp leader) acting all boss like in pictures. He's good at that.

MBA students and their kong fu fetish
Don't you just love black shoes. (that's the one i bought for eight bucks by the way)

We're close to the airport
Locals who would wave whenever they go pass. Its not everyday you see a group of ang moh and weird Chinese in corporate wear by the road side

Supposed to the "those dressed black and white combi" shot. But we love ma li. So she has to be in the shot.

The Singaporeans cam whore while waiting and the Americans go get their drink.I was not kidding when i told you they liked beer. PS: See the two to the right of the picture? It wasn't just flowers blooming by the road side.

Haha. You drink and you relive yourself. Only human nature right. ROARS. Back to the Tarzan days.

Group pic!

Taken with Darly *waves* and Cindy and also with Gums and ipods. (Roomie is missing cos she's off mingling w the ang moh peeps - as usual-)

Random 4: Ironing and Flowers

So straight after roomie and I did our nails. We tested them by washing and ironing our clothes.

You may think i'm seriously bo liao. But for someone who really does not do housework, ironing in China is a significant event worth recording. (i'm not reen you know. muhaha) Iron and ironing board provided by hotel. I Heart Wenjin Hotel.

Flowers - China has pretty flowers despite their air quality. Maybe its their soil? Or is it the olympics? hmmm. Curious.

Typical road side flower bed - picture taken from bus

Taken while stuck in a cab stuck in the jam. Besides the flowers, check out flock of birds circling the white building in the background. Click to enlarge.
