浪奔～～登～登登 浪流～～登～登登

Dear Bloggy,

Now that I have finished my internship with Google I don't have access to the 'outside world' anymore. No appledaily, no access to my friend's blogs, and no access to my own blog either! I couldn't even read what I have posted last time, so let me just summarize what have done in the last few days while I can still remember...

Last Friday was my last day with Google. It was a pity that I have to leave at that point in the project as it has generated some real interest within the company. On this last day I still have to present to the engineering director through video conference. It feels good that people are interested in the findings but in the meantime I would love to see the recommendations being put into practice and to help driving them. Too bad the internship ends so soon. I will try to keep track with it with my team members on GTalk and see if I can help remotely.

Moved to Shanghai on Sunday and stayed in a hotel I booked online. In general I think the service provided here in Shanghai is much better than those in Beijing. The taxi drivers and the people in the hotel front desk I met are all very willing to help. A taxi driver even gave me the number of his friend who is a housing agent when I told him I was looking for an apartment. :p So far I think people here are more helpful compare to Beijing.

Finally I settled in the CEIBS dorm. Even though it is a dorm but in fact it is a service apartment as there are staff to clean it up once a week. It is like an apartment itself except that it doesn't have a kitchen (OK for me!) and a fridge. TV, air-cond are all included. The campus itself is actually better than I thought. Heard that it is designed by the famous architect Bu Lu Ming. Location sucks though. It is in the middle of nowhere and in order to get to the closest subway station we have to take a taxi. There is only one cafeteria in the campus so I think I will be craving for better food pretty soon..

Lillian, Eva and I went to downtown area yesterday. After 10 years I can finally feel the "浪奔～～登～登登 浪流～～登～登登" again. :p The scenery at the bund area is really good. We met up with Lance and Warren for dinner.
