Highlights for July
Half of 2006 has passed...and it is July now; there were a few key things happened and will be happening this month:1) The Italians became the FIFA World Cup Champions for the 4th time, yeah, go Azzuri!!!
2) I enjoyed my vacation back in Hong Kong and Beijing; and it has been really really nice to see my families back home, and to taste authentic Chinese dishes again - esp. spicy fish in oil pot!!!
3) A great trip to my girlfriend's home town and met with her relatives - it's a very special trip for me.
4) I started my Shanghai assignment with the company 2 days ago; and yes, I am integrating myself in another new city again - awkwardly, in certain sense, it seems more foreign to me even compared to my former 1.5 years in the US, as locals here speak Shanghaiese in which I have no clue to the language.
5) My girlfriend is finally confirmed with her trip to New York and it's been a really hectic preparation so far; but meaningful and delightful event!
In the coming August, I will be going home (Hong Kong) for my visa interview to the US, and of course be able to spend one more weekend with my parents there.
As for the remaining time in July, I am also expecting two visits from my own sister who's taking an internship in Beijing, and then my best friend who will be posted to Hangzhou (about 2-3 hours from Shanghai); and not to mention meeting some old friends in the city!
Viva July & August 2006!

Have fun in Shanghai, Calvin. Pity we can't meet up before you leave, but maybe a small party in Hong Kong can work out after all...
Ah I miss 水煮鱼, too!
