A Different Kind of Business Trip: Shanghai Part 2

I woke up early to use the gym. I was told that the swimming pool is on the same level and wondered who would swim in winter. 

There were... bcos it is a heated pool.

I hit the gym and could only use the elliptical bcos of the lousy ankle. There were 3 of them but only 1 working properly. Chey. 

The gym is huge but empty and I am not sure if the other equipment were working properly. 

All done. 

Then to the buffet spread! Very nice. A good spread and alot of food. 

I headed to the office, met some colleagues and was treated to a good lunch, like dome royalty. My China colleagues are very hospitable. 

Then it was more meetings before moving to the annual party. The party was held on a cruise! It would have sounded like a super grand and expensive affair if that had taken place in Sgp. My China colleague assured that such in China is very affordable. Wooooo... 

I had checked the weather forecast before the trip and the weather was comfortable despite being winter. I didn't bring my heat tech, they are all nicely washed, folded and stored away and I really hate to disturb them. All I brought was the winter jacket, that I haven't washed from the Tokyo trip. 

The party ended at 9ish and it was almost 10pm by the time I arrived back at the hotel. Again, I traveled like some royalty, with private car back to the hotel. 

For all my work trips, I rarely stayed the weekend bcos I want be home with family. This one is different. My China colleague has asked that I stayed over the weekend, mentioning that she would bring me to the site and then some sightseeing. I did that. 

The sight visit was short and then she brought me to "I don't know where" actually. Lol. But I felt like a tourist and didnf mind being one. 

We had dinner before heading home. Lol at the size of the pig trotter! Oink, oink.

My flight was on Sunday 1.50pm. My colleague again very nicely brought me to the famous CBD area before I headed to the airport. 

This trip, I definitely felt more like a tourist than to go for work. 

Getting home was easy. The flight was crowded but still good. 

They served us ice cream this time. Hoho. 

The trip was all good. The weather was nice, and it wasn't a work too hard trip. The only issue was that the house was messy when I arrived back home at almost 9pm on Sunday night. Mochi's litter box smelled so badly but yet seems to affect nobody. Zzzzz.
