Well I write my first final here tomorrow morning, and I guess I am ready. I studied on two separate days so that is about double my norm. I have found Starbucks to be the international studying locale as I have seemed to study in them all over the place in my life. I know the Economist has a Big Mac Index, but there should be a Starbucks index as my Caramel Machiato is more expensive here than it is back home. I was hoping for $1 Lattes, but I guess that was just a pipe dream. The treats in the photo are not from Starbucks, but I just wanted to show something that is delicous. I have no idea what they are made of, but the "chocolate" one tastes kida like chocolate, so it isn't so bad.
I am studying and living at Shanghia University, at the Yanchang campus. It is well located, only about 5 stops away from People's Square which is basically the centre of the city. Riding the subway here is super cheap, but sometimes you are sardined into a car which must have 5 times too many people on it. It is almost scary.
My MBA program here is called a GLMBA which stands for Global Local MBA. It has been so interesting to hear different views, and it has really opened my eyes to the fact that there are successful business practices that do not start in either Europe or North America.
I am really starting to miss certain things from back home, little things, weird things. I miss Mythbusters the most for some reason. I do not know why as I have seen every epsiode like a 100 times, but I miss watching geeks almost killing themselves on a weekly basis. There is no Chinese version of it yet that I can find. But when it starts I will let everyone know where to find it.
Well I should get back to the book, as I need more prep. Have a good one!
