Work........

I do the same thing over and over again. Today is my third day, hope I will learn something new......
What surprises me with this place is that there is no proper office wear code. First day I even saw a girl who wore a dress that looked like a pyjama!!! I like that they are not so strict about dress code as I don't like to wear shirts and long pants (especially when it's summer in Shanghai). What's funny is that the foreigners in our company all dress well and are more strictly dressed than the local girls (local men still follows the code quite strictly.) Another fun thing is that the group leader sitting next to me talks in Shanghainese with a collague about me when I'm just sitting next to her, I think she believes I cannot speak Shanghainese...but anyway, yesterday a guy also spoke to a girl in mandarin about me when I was just opposite him, why not just ask me directly?
This morning I got to People's Square very early so I decided to visit People's Park. It is absolutly beautiful!!! Walk towards Barbarossa and there are old men fishing by the small lake. The lake is totally green but still it gives a good reflection of the environment. It was such a beautiful view!!! I didn't bring my camera today but tomorrow I will definitely be there and take some pictures to show you. Although the pictures won't show its real beauty.

There's a Starbucks opposite your office that backs onto the park ...it has a roof terrace. Grab a coffee go to the back of the roof and you have an amazing view, out over the park and on the other side, the art museum and tomorrow square.
