Met with Vivian in the HK airport and met Michael there, continue a dinner with Michael then follow the second round seeing Shao and Daniel were bonus to me, 2 long lost friend in the entertainment industry, Daniel used to work in China as the representative to the company , when the company set up it's own operation, he left and establishing his own vent, Shao is our guild to the entertainment world in China, whenever there's artist visit / tour / holding event in Shanghai , Beijing, Shao is the best guild to the trendy scene in this 2 metros, it's really a small world, talk drinking until wee hours, this is like back to the old days. Antonio accompany throughout the course.
2. the greeting to TMSK -- the sub-brand of Newmanwork and visit Director Chang and Miss Yang is a great experience, introduced by Peter, I brought Ben and his wife to the restaurant, we've been treated like the real VIP, fusion cuisine with great ambience, new Chinese folk music combine with light and southands of crystal glass; the New Manwork is the global brand new for crystal glass from China, Director Chang who was the prestigious movie director turn to the new business 10 more years ago and develop the new career represent the " New China " TMSK is a fusion place , mixed with all kinds of experience, east meet west is only a small part, Director Chang himself is an artist who we respect very much, the cuisine designed by Peter -- GM of the restaurant was excellent, music supervised by Peter Change definitely will improved day by day, the late coming friend -- Mr. Su who was the writer famous for traveling writing share his how to play and travel with us in person, this is like the " Master Class ", the dinner and talking last for 4 hours, we left by 11:30pm and thought of carry on the conversation next round.
3. met Tom twice and learn the mobile market scene, any new initiative here need time and space, it will never be the case to sit overseas and learn what's going on here, push and reaction is the working model in China, they don't really develop the motivation to work and perform correctly, so, it take a lot of effort to educate co-worker.
4. Harvest for DVDs, especially for the European films from varies critical acclaimed film award, it will ultimately enrich my spirit and love for the movie.
5. Identify one new restaurant -- the Jessie restaurant, one of the best Shanghai cuisine I ever had. so great. and knows where to stay next time -- Western Garden Hotel recommend by Miss Yang shall be the place I go, and to check the restaurant Ding ding mentioned is on my next visit list.

I am more and more into China now, keep the monthly visit pace is a good way to explore and grow the knowledge about China.
