Shanghai, China - November 7

Monday November 7

I left from the Marina Bay Sands for the airport.  I met with two of my coworkers from Singapore at the airport, and we left for Shanghai for a week of meetings.  We were meeting with the Rockwell Shanghai team, as well as my VP from North America, and 2 directors from NA.

The flight from Singapore to Shanghai is about 5 1/2 hours.  I literally slept the first 2 hours, ate lunch (fish and rice), and watched a movie (The Help).  It was a great flight, and actually seemed really short. 

We arrived in Shanghai on Monday at 4 p.m., took a cab to our hotel, checked in, and met for dinner.  We walked to dinner, and decided to have a nice meal, so we walked to the closest mall.  Shanghai is a huge city, very loud, crowded and busy. 

We had a traditional Chinese dinner, where 1 person orders, and we share everything that is brought to the table.  I ordered a Pepsi light, and to open the can, it was a pull tab.  Kindof interesting!

After dinner, we walked around the mall, went to a grocery store, and headed back to the hotel.
