My Second China Trip

My Second China Trip with the company. As the meeting is starting on Monday, I flew to Shanghai on Sunday morning.

The immigration was terrible.I waited for more than an hour just to clear the immigration and it took another hour to get to the hotel from the airport. After checking in and resting for a while, I headed out to this Teppanyaki restaurant next to the hotel. It costs RMB150 per pax and the food is free flow. It was really good and I love the beef teppanyaki.

After that, I brought my vendor who came from Singapore with me and who was in China for the first time to the Bund and Nanjing Road.

Met up with two other Netherlands guys from my vendor company on Monday and brought them to Xin Tian Di and had dinner at the Din Tai Fung. The dinner was not cheap. It costs like RMB620 for the 4 of us.

The next morning we started early as we need to go to the Suzhou Plant and it was a 2 hours drive from Shanghai. When we reached there, we start off the meeting with a tour of the factory and understanding how the production works etc.

The site manager took us for lunch at Yang Yang Jiao Zi Guan and the lunch was nice. We tried this fish that was only found in the River Hwang. For dinner, I brought them to Guan Jian Jie and had dinner in this "Pink-lighted" restaurant. The food was pretty good and it was really cheap. It was only 170RMB for the 4 of us. Next, we proceed to Haagen Dazs for ice-cream and then had some coffee before ending the day with a glass of mai tai for me at the hotel lounge.

The next morning I went and bought 2 boxes of Moon cakes from the Hotel and it has the normal white lotus flavour as well as the XO flavour mooncake. After that the company driver took me from the hotel to the Shanghai airport where I departed to go back Singapore.
