... has been working to help small businesses in two ways: interceding with
banks and other lenders to find out why they’ve made only half as many
business loans as last year, and by introducing the Small Business
Credit Card Act in the House of Representatives. After delivering
years of stable profitability, the company’s result for the full year
to December registered a ...

... buildings of Pudong and have a better view of the Bund. I took about a hundred pictures, since there was nothing else to do.

Just when we were almost back to the port, I noticed a gigantic storm cloud overhead. We went down from the upper dock just as it started to drizzle... and then rain... and then pour. Then the wind started, and the thunder and lightning. It turned out it was so windy that we couldn't dock, so we sat in this ship as it drifted in and out of position to dock ...

... expecting to see a plane crash or UFO. Then came the explanation as she is running across the street, "DUNKIN DONUTS!!" We crossed the street to go into the Dunkin' Donuts and they did not have any donuts. They were sold out for the day. Kim and Kensie were very disappointed, but Kim and I both got something to drink and after many pictures taken with the people behind the counter and giving them names (Duncan and Zoey), we sat down for a little rest ...

... of sunset. I did also go outside the city one day to a town on the Grand Canal called Wuzhen, which has been preserved in the state it would have been in the late Qing Dynasty. The bus trip there showed the true landscape of these parts now - on the whole one and a half hour trip we never got into anything remotely ressembling countryside, instead it is just one continuous urban sprawl, and I suspect that the entire Yangtze delta region ...

... follow me! Ha, pay back will be slow and painful mate. We were saved by a kind young woman who led us like school kids to our destinantion. The Shanghai acrobats were fab and are worth seeing, but take a sick bag for the 5 mad blokes on bikes in the cage. The group then went up the Jin Mao tower for cocktails and to see the city 97 floors below. Free to get up but you have to buy a drink from the Cloud Nine bar ...

... Car voyez-vous, j'ai un début pas mal relax: je suis 'emménagée' mercredi après-midi et j'ai eu toute la journée de jeudi pour dépaqueter, faire des lavages, préparer mes cours, etc. Exceptionellement, il y aura cours ces samedi et dimanche, afin d'avoir un congé de 7 jours la semaine prochaine, de lundi à dimanche, un des plus longs de l'année, à l'occasion de la fête nationale mercredi. Donc pour moi, 4 jours de cours puis 7 jours de congé! Sans compter qu'en ce moment, la ...

... economy and culture hundreds of years ago, consulates of most countries and many banks, businesses and newspaper offices were settled there, and that's why we have these art-like buildings. Although they were not designed by the same person or built in the same period, the architectural pattern is similar. Dinner was at 1088 restaurant, famous for its soup. It is located at 5th floor of a building just next to Time Sq. Unfortunately, we were quite late and all its soup were sold out.

... most important port in Asia and hosted the world's largest trading and banking firms who set up shop along the Bund, a commercial area near the harbor. Shanghai's Astor House Hotel claims to have installed the first electric light bulb in Asia. Tea, silk and porcelain sailed out, opium came in. Free enterprise. There were no requirements for visas or passports which, of course, attracted all the world's ...

... my pronounciation, which was followed by a case of the giggles. The meal was delicous, and I got the waitress to tell me what it was called. After repeating what she said, to the best of my abilities, to some friends later, the best guess is that it was some kind of lamb stomach dish - yummy. So, the title of this entry is "Moving On" and it takes place in Shanghai... There I was, hanging out Thursday night, and I got to thinking ...

... Nyt Mika tilasi kuitenkin paistetun ankan ja se oli tosi hyvaa. Minunkinn liharuokani oli maukas ja kastike oli hyva. Kiina o9n ollut ensimmainen paikka, missa mina en ole ollut koko ajan menossa syoimaan paikallisia ruokia. Hong Kongissa koko se meidan asueemme haisi sellaiselle hassulle, kun joka kadunkulmassa valmistettiin ruokaa. Kadiunkulmassa sattoi tormata isoon pataan, missa keiteltiin jotakin, mika kovasti muistutti sian nahkaa. Lisaksi myytiin aivan hirvean ...
