We both worked long hours, got paid small amounts, yet we really enjoyed the company of our co-workers. It's been 10 years since I left that job but I had fond memories of it, I'm sure you will too. Oh, this is my first time reading your blog. I have to say, your Chinese is right on! I do wish my Chinese is as good as yours, I'm about sub 1st grade level. Will be back to read your adventures!

You have a gift for writing which I wish I had. I have been here for 11 years now and have worked for local companies (yea the same ones where you sit all day doing nothing wiating for the next meeting to start) as well as multi-nationals....with the standards of living being all of those areas in between. I wish I could put it all in words....it would fill up a few volumes for sure! I have enjoyed reading your posts....gives me a laugh because I can really relate to it all.....good stuff...keep it up You really should do something like this for a year and then write a book.

When I go to my barbershop in Shanghai now, I look at the people there in a different way. I enjoyed reading all your posts, they are well-written and very informative. I look forward to hearing your future plans. Keep on blogging. Cheers, Marc Ben, I admire your decision to spend a month at a barbershop, and sharing your experiences with your readers.
