Oops

…despite a normal jumpiness, for someone that is going to work in China, everything is going really well…I already know that I will be responsible to make the link between Shanghai and Porto’s offices…however there is a tiny problem…I don’t know a single badly word in Chinese…it’s true that they speak English at the office…but the suppliers only speak, in the best chance, mandarin…it would be nice to deal with them…I’m hopping to have lots of interesting stories to tell you…I was also told that I will do some trips over there, I hope to have some business trips to Vietnam, Laos, Thailand…I don’t know if that’s too much to ask for…

…yesterday I had my 3rd class of mandarin…it’s quite hard…there are more than 40,000 characters…you can imagine what I will be facing…the funny thing is that in Shanghai they have their own dialect…but I don’t want to make such a big deal of it…who I’m I fooling…I’m totally screwed…

…I already spoke with some people that already have been or lived in Shanghai…I couldn’t be more exciting after hearing what they had to say…big news…there is an IKEA in Shanghai…decorating the apartment would not be a problem…if I’m staying there for 9 months…I have to feel at home…I only have to know what that means…

…not knowing what will happen…it’s quite trilling and exciting…

...I promise to write "next post" in Portuguese…and believe or not in Chinese…I will try to teach you some words and sentences…those easy ones…
