I'm still here!

Day 46

Yes I am still alive, and no, nothing bad has happened to me. It has been a while since my last post, and I apologize. The past week hasn’t been all that exciting. Work has been getting better. There was actually a huge personnel change and I now have 2 new co-workers, and lost 4, so that was the biggest change at work. I’m still using Sketchup and Autocad like crazy, but one of my coworkers, Kolin, is trying to teach me 3ds Max and I’ll be teaching her Sketchup. My fellow interns and I decided to explore more of the market aspect of Shanghai and traveled to the famous Fabric market. Here, there are tons of vendors with examples of coats, dresses, jeans, pants, shirts, and suits. Their main goal just like every vendor is to sell you inexpensive things so that they could give their work to their sweatshops. I bought a 400 yuan Cashmere coat, and it is going to be custom made. In always strikes me at just how cheap things are here, and that’s definitely going to be something that I’m going to miss when I return to the states. Now I’m just preparing for this weekend. I’ll be venturing off to Bangkok for another Ultimate Frisbee hat tournament. So stay tuned, cuz there will be plenty to write about.
