So I’ve been very busy lately (as I keep saying over and over again to anyone I talk to back home.) But honestly I really have been. Between 12+ hours of Chinese class a week, plus 15 hrs/week at my internship and then an additional econ class, I am really just stretched thin. But I still have been able to do some cool things lately and really enjoy myself at the same time. This trip has really been love/hate for me.
So here are some things that I have been up to lately:
- At my internship I have been given a project. I am creating a sales kit/package that we will use to distribute to restaurants that we want to add. Here is a little about my internship. The company is called Sherpa’s. It’s very well-known in Shanghai’s expat community. We are a food delivering company that only deals with respectable foreign restaurants or up-to-our-standard Chinese restaurants. I am working in the marketing department. My boss is pretty cool guy. He’s an American that started the company after going to business school in Shanghai.
- I have been playing basketball in my spare time quite a bit. Donghua University has an intramural league that separates teams by majors. I have been playing with the international trade team. I went off my first game and played well. I missed a game but we still won. And then last game I was all over the court but had trouble scoring. My defense and rebounding still helped us win though and that puts us in the championship game.
- I got to check out cool art district called Tian Zi Fang. It has a great nightlife and the art was pretty cool. The area is old style a lot of the upstairs are residential but artists and businessmen have turned the area into a little bar district as well. My roommate’s friend from back home was visiting so him and I went together and looked at the art. We also hit up a shaved ice place that was pretty good.
