Landing in Shanghai!
After more than half a day travelling... SHANGHAI!
I arrived around 9am January 21st and it has been quite hard to get a decent internet connection (there was an earthquake in Taiwan some weeks ago which affected the internet connections), and I haven't really had the time to be online enough time to write a post.
Well the journey was an odissey... I travelled with Madalena, João Alves, Paulo, Luis & João Gago (they are also doing an internship in Shanghai) . It was long flight but we got here. Waiting for us was Manuel Couto de Miranda the representative of Portuguese Commerce Agency in Shanghai and his assistant Paulo! We were very well treated; maps, mobile cards for everyone and a minibus trip to our first home, the Magnificent Hotel! Thank you Manuel!
Most of us didn't sleep much during the flight and I didn't even sleep in the last night in Portugal. Despite of this we went to visit some apartments right away. António, who had arrived Shanghai before us, had already arranged some meetings with some agents and I went with him. In the evening we had dinner at Manuel's place with some of his friends and other portuguese people that are living in Shanghai. It was a great idea once we started to meet some new people.
We were exhausted when we got to the hotel, so exhausted that not even that hard bed kept me awake! The days after were spent visiting apartments with Madalena who, along with Chico (arriving on the 28th), will be my roommates for 9 months. We already got an apartment (more like a mansion!! :P) but I will only talk about it in the next post! I'm not homeless anymore!!! :)
