It is very hot in Beijing right now, we have been here half a year now. The trees are greener than I expected, also the pollution is not too bad. According to news reporting the pollution problem has been improved a lot comparing to previous years, does that mean we come at the right time?
I am pleased to say I have moved on to an events organising role at a media company. The new work has flexible hours. Yesterday I stayed overtime at work for the first time, but it was such a fun day. My colleague and I went to a meeting at a beautiful park in central city, discussing new ways to diversify the park’s visitors. I also learnt my colleague had two foxes as pets, apparently you can buy them on Taobao (China’s biggest online shop). After we got back to the office, we all had another meeting which did not finish till 9pm. It is about coming up with a storyboard for a campaign. I probably spent 11 hours at work yesterday, but it felt a lot better than spending 5 hours at a boring job. To me, it is important to work with people who are creative, energitic and respectful, so far the new team seem to deliver all these qualities.
I guess it can not be a boring place when you work with someone who keep fox as pets , right?!
Till then 🙂
