I realize my last post was a bit depressing, considering I got a few e-mails and messages from friends worried about my well-being. I'm doing fine, I just need to embrace the power of positive thinking. Chinese New Year is around the corner and I still have no idea what I'm doing for the paid holiday. Originally I was supposed to head up to Harbin again for the ice festival, but this time around I am not prepared for -30 degrees Celsius! I don't even have the right winter clothes for Shanghai...and it so happens to be a rare year where it actually snows!
I've been looking at some plane tickets to go to Hainan, the Hawaii of the 'East'. But of course, tickets are at an exorbitant price during CNY and it'll be extremely crowded. There are so many places to visit in China, but the weather just isn't "spring break" weather and I hate being confound within this country! I would be jet-setting back to Thailand if I could!
Anyhow, I am starting to look into other industries to work in and have spoken to one of my bosses about it. She is actually helping me plan out my future career, since I don't think it'll be in marketing. I have lined up a few meetings this week and next week with PR & advertising firms around Shanghai and hopefully they see what I'm passionate about, since right now I'm not even too clear about what I want, I just know I want to learn more than I am now!
I'm finally going to get internet in my apartment this weekend, so my blog and Facebook will finally be updated of long overdue photos. In the meantime, help me think of where to go this 'spring break'!
