Monday August 7th

Today we are exactly 1 month here, in Guangzhou in South-China. It has been a wonderful time already and we have more big things to come. Next weekends will be filled with Macao, Hong Kong and the last one Guangzhou. Time has passed so quickly, we didn’t realize it that we are already here for so long. But we don’t have much time to stand still by this fact, because Monday means working day! We finished some more work on the capacity project and although it is not finished, we really want to get involved in the project around the new wet line, we’ll see how that works out in the coming days.

Alan, the operations manager, returned from his holiday today, he went to the whole north west of China, close to the Russian border. It’s an area with a lot of small deserts and mountains. According to our books, this area is called Xinjiang, one of the farthest corners of the country.

You are waiting for a typhoon update? Well, on the news Bopho appeared. Bopho is a tropical storm (not yet a typhoon) that is again heading for the South-Chinese coast. Probably he will deliver us some bad weather at the end of the week.

Btw, I told you that last week electricity was down, well this time our gas cylinder was empty (the gas isn’t delivered trough pipes). So we couldn’t cook or shower or do the dishes. But tomorrow we’ll call Cathy and hopefully we it will be fixed when we come back tomorrow so that we can finally do our laundry! (We’ve been postponing it for like 5 days and now I actually ran out of clean clothing…Iew)
