Date:<\/strong> 10 November 2011 Thursday<\/p>\n

14:00 PM Shanghai General Motors Company Ltd<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had our 3rd and last company visit today. Class ended at about 12:30 PM and we were given about 30 minutes for lunch. The university got us packed lunch that we ordered on Monday. We left the university at 13:15 PM as some of the students were late.\u00c2\u00a0 The bus journey to Shanghai GM was 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We were brought to the meeting room and were given an overview of the company. Next we\u00c2\u00a0 toured around the car showroom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The car assembly line tour. We\u00c2\u00a0 observed how the cars were fixed part by part.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We left Shanghai GM at about 4:30 PM and were back at the hotel at 5 PM. We had an hour of project group discussion and went back our room to wash up before rushing out for dinner.<\/p>\n

18:10 PM \u00e9\u00a1\u00ba\u00e5\u00ad\u0090\u00e9\u02dc\u0081<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We decided to have steamboat dinner at the restaurant next to our hotel. There weren’t many people in the restaurant when we entered. The place was quite dirty – I saw a mini cockroach on the wall halfway throughout our meal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

JR also bought a bottle of liquor to try. It was too strong for us. The food was quite tasty, which I think was due to the large amount of MSG added. It became saltier as the soup evaporates. It was so terribly salty that we gave up.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a020:20 PM \u00e5\u008d\u2014\u00e4\u00ba\u00ac\u00e8\u00a5\u00bf\u00e8\u00b7\u00af Nanjing West Road<\/strong><\/p>\n

We took the metro to \u00e5\u008d\u2014\u00e4\u00ba\u00ac\u00e8\u00a5\u00bf\u00e8\u00b7\u00af Nanjing West Road and walked over to \u00e6\u00b1\u2030\u00e5\u0178\u017d. I bought a white headphone, a earpiece and a iPhone case. JR got 5 pairs of cufflinks from a stall. We walked back to \u00e5\u008d\u2014\u00e4\u00ba\u00ac\u00e8\u00a5\u00bf\u00e8\u00b7\u00af Nanjing West Road and shopped around the area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dogs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Crazy JR bought \u00c2\u00bd a dozen of Krispy Kreme donuts.<\/p>\n

21:00 PM \u00e5\u00b0\u008f\u00e6\u009d\u00a8\u00e7\u201d\u0178\u00e7\u2026\u017d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We are back again!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00e5\u00b0\u008f\u00e6\u009d\u00a8\u00e7\u201d\u0178\u00e7\u2026\u017d – JR’s\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u2122\u00a5\u00e2\u2122\u00a5\u00e2\u2122\u00a5.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Curry Beef Soup<\/p>\n

We saw many people drinking the soup which make us so tempted to try. Our verdict – horrible.<\/p>\n

21:15 PM \u00e6\u00bb\u00a1\u00e8\u00ae\u00b0\u00e7\u201d\u0153\u00e5\u201c\u0081 Honeymoon Dessert
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Had some desserts before we end our day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mango Pancake<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mango Pomelo & Sago Sweet Soup with Ice-cream<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Iced Kiwi Juice<\/p>\n

21:45 PM Heading Back<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the way back to the hotel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Supper… the 2nd piece of desserts that we bought the other day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

JR realised that he only received 4\u00c2\u00bd pairs of cufflinks! We need to go back to \u00e6\u00b1\u2030\u00e5\u0178\u017d again…<\/p>\n
