My friends and I went to a large market that is underground the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. The vendors there are very enthusiastic and are quite vocal. Driving into Shanghai is always an amazing sight with all of the construction that is constantly occurring. After doing some shopping we went to a good Brazilian restaurant called the Latina. The food was quite good and we actually got to watch the end of a baseball game.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIwDfFtAIpI/AAAAAAAAAZw/QbncbIZU6Q8/s1600-h/IMG_0976.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIwDfFtAIpI/AAAAAAAAAZw/QbncbIZU6Q8/s320/IMG_0976.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227557100112061074" border="0" /></a> You see cranes all over the place.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIwDfQ7Z1kI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/yc3bD33LeB0/s1600-h/IMG_0981.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIwDfQ7Z1kI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/yc3bD33LeB0/s320/IMG_0981.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227557103125255746" border="0" /></a> Apartment and office buildings on the out skirts of Shanghai<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIwDf93vYXI/AAAAAAAAAaA/vkLQpNr5DRw/s1600-h/IMG_0984.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIwDf93vYXI/AAAAAAAAAaA/vkLQpNr5DRw/s320/IMG_0984.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227557115189485938" border="0" /></a> Shanghai Science and Technology Museum<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIwDgC00haI/AAAAAAAAAaI/waVhIq2Y4OA/s1600-h/IMG_0985.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIwDgC00haI/AAAAAAAAAaI/waVhIq2Y4OA/s320/IMG_0985.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227557116519417250" border="0" /></a> Random Hotel<br /><br />Have a good day and take care everyone.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176127173795807195-2851384508725384167?l=lancesecnal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17700285798066850852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176127173795807195.post-37005435902714679512008-07-22T06:13:00.000-07:002008-12-12T18:45:57.412-08:00I have been to some really good restaurants in Nanqiao and Shanghai over the last few days. There is an excellent Korean restaurant here in Nanqiao that has an awesome kim-chee soup. A restaurant in Shanghai called Ding Tai Fun has the best dumplings I have ever had in my life. My chinese comprehension is coming along slowly. It is a very difiicult language to learn for english ears. Here are a few pictures of my fellow workers:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIXjkzSjFxI/AAAAAAAAAYA/2vMokkTICl4/s1600-h/IMG_0953.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIXjkzSjFxI/AAAAAAAAAYA/2vMokkTICl4/s320/IMG_0953.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225833164016129810" border="0" /></a> Stewart (my Boss with the goofy glasses) <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIXjlPbto8I/AAAAAAAAAYI/_pLj_R2Ey2I/s1600-h/IMG_0955.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIXjlPbto8I/AAAAAAAAAYI/_pLj_R2Ey2I/s320/IMG_0955.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225833171570762690" border="0" /></a> Engel (IT), Logan (Enigineer), Albert (Manager)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIXjlUjUOfI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/H1p9BYckgKs/s1600-h/IMG_0957.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIXjlUjUOfI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/H1p9BYckgKs/s320/IMG_0957.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225833172944828914" border="0" /></a> Alan (Admin), Cameron (Engineer)<br /> <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIXjlzqpD0I/AAAAAAAAAYY/ob0H8imH-pg/s1600-h/IMG_0951.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIXjlzqpD0I/AAAAAAAAAYY/ob0H8imH-pg/s320/IMG_0951.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225833181297053506" border="0" /></a> Not a Co-Worker (Old Man selling peaches)<br /><br />Have a great day everyone!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176127173795807195-3700543590271467951?l=lancesecnal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17700285798066850852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176127173795807195.post-87567293224448730412008-07-19T17:11:00.000-07:002008-12-12T18:45:59.637-08:00I just wanted set up a blog to let everyone know whats going on with me, since I have started a new job that frequently takes me out of the country. Over the last few months I have traveled to Nanqiao, China and Sasso Marconi, Italy. I am currently in Nanqiao again which is about 45 minutes drive south of Shanghai. China is a very interesting place that is a blend of the new and old world. Here are a few pictures from my first trip to Nanqiao:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIKHNWCdKEI/AAAAAAAAAXE/hhqqDLQkJjc/s1600-h/IMG_0807.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIKHNWCdKEI/AAAAAAAAAXE/hhqqDLQkJjc/s320/IMG_0807.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224887181027125314" border="0" /></a>Veiw from the company apartment in Nanqiao (very foggy)<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIKHNtw2LsI/AAAAAAAAAXM/a-t_Nllwn0o/s1600-h/IMG_0841.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIKHNtw2LsI/AAAAAAAAAXM/a-t_Nllwn0o/s320/IMG_0841.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224887187395718850" border="0" /></a>Traditional Building (New) with Windmills<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIKHOF_TKvI/AAAAAAAAAXU/5FcJj7WmTt4/s1600-h/IMG_0821.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIKHOF_TKvI/AAAAAAAAAXU/5FcJj7WmTt4/s320/IMG_0821.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224887193898789618" border="0" /></a>Edge of New Buildings in Nanqiao<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIKHOfcwzLI/AAAAAAAAAXc/fXuSppd_XDQ/s1600-h/IMG_0824.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WvvXFKpJlQg/SIKHOfcwzLI/AAAAAAAAAXc/fXuSppd_XDQ/s320/IMG_0824.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224887200733252786" border="0" /></a>Parts Stores in Nanqiao<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">Italy was beautiful and the food was amazing.
