Dalian

Yesterday, we got up while the sun was still dim and sleepy. After a not up-to-standard meal, we went to an oak flooring factory. It was interesting to see how oak flooring was cut, made, and laquered. We had a late lunch in a fantastically large room with a equally large table. The food, however, was worth the wait. We then took a plane to Shang Hai. Upon arriving in Shang Hai, we had dinner, then retired to our quarters.

The next morning, we had a Mcdonald's breakfast. We were planning to catch a bus to Zhou Zhuang, an ancient chinese village but missed it. In the end, we had to endure a three-hour long taxi ride to Zhou Zhuang. It was an eye-opening experience for me.

After the trip to Zhou Zhuang, we went to a place the locals call the 'copy market'. The things there were all fakes. Although everything there was outrageously cheap, I did not find anything to my taste. The next morning, we flew back to Malaysia.

This trip to China was a very enjoyable one. It gave me buckets full of experience and insight of a bussiness man's life. Futhermore, it took my relationship with my father to a higher level.
