Week 1

So my first week is nearly done and i have some more stuff to tell.
Work is really fun, the atmosphere is pretty relaxed, yet everyone gets the tasks done on time. The majority of the office are Chinese but there is Denni the Croatian, and also Leo the Columbian.
The normal work day involves me getting up at around 6, to be ready to picked up by Joe the driver at 6 45. The commute into the city takes around half an hour (due to traffic) and then we pick up Charles (the other boss) at his house, and then drive around 10 minutes to the office.
On a gym day Charles and i will go to the gym at around 11 and them meet the other guys at the restaurant for lunch afterwards at around 12.
Lunch is always at the same restaurant, except for on fridays which is western days, where we go to western style restaurant.
We get back to work at around half 1, then finish the day at 4:30/5.



On thursday i got to see the stadium for the first time, it was awesome to be able to walk around were about in a months time some of the best tennis players.





The layout of the site. The stadium is equipped with a roof that opens and closes, though it will be closed during the event.






Picture of right under the middle of the roof.




Where the tennis court is meant to be








Tofu the dog



An actual 'nice' day in shanghai...you can still directly look at the sun without it hurting though.




And yes, tvs with terrestrial channels in taxis...the only problem is that the drivers keep switching between looking at the road and looking at the tv....
