The beginning of this week was better; mainly because the living place has been taken care of. Had a short meeting with the Asia-VP yesterday and altho I was a bit intimidated with his presence in the beginning; I felt comfortable speaking to him towards the end as he's very reasonable. The manager from the other team (also from Toronto and whom I met in SH) was also very helpful and offered me help whenever needed. I guess I did look like a sour lemon along with the street locals you see here. ha ha ha... Hopefully that will change as I get more used to this place and visit around different places (ok, I'm a little inclined in trying out the subway this weekend after reading Ajeya's blog). Anyways, this relocation is a good experience to me I guess - one of my friends called me up and she suggested that i'm just going through a 'being a good husband for dummies' course; I hope I don't fail the course in the end. LOL. Oh, I also got a super huge tub of drinking water so I don't have to boil the strange-tasting water anymore. Looking at the big tub reminded crazy games we played back in University where the loser will have to do crazy things - like drinking 1/3 of the tub of water... ha ha ha
