We met our Asia Pacific colleagues and started the training right away. And to be honest, my mind was divided into another major thing happening in my country, which is the salary calibration meeting preparation. So I did my best to focus but I could not help my mind wondering whether everything is all right back home. Lunch consist of cold sandwich, but it was okay.

In the evening, we and our three other colleagues from Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam went to Yashou Market where we were successfully “robbed” by the local seller. We were so stupidly happy to be able to bargain from RMB 400 something to RMB 100, only to find that in three shops away the starting price was RMB 35! Aaaarghhh!

I felt like killing the Chinese lady! But anyway, we were then vow to our selves that we will start the negotiation from 10% of the original price. We came from the land of negotiation! We returned to the hotel with plan for vengeance. The sellers were looking for enemies. Robbing innocent visitors like us. But before that, we managed to finish a devilishly finger-licking delicious crispy fried duck! Tee hee.
