We spent all morning in a very cheerful knowledge sharing meeting, meeting other HR fellows has always brought up battle stories. Tee hee.

In the afternoon we were taken to (Thank God) a normal Sezchuan Restaurant for lunch. This time, I truly could enjoy the food. I got to know my colleagues better too as we shared our age and weight (!!) around the table. I was happy to find that I was not the oldest nor the heaviest among the crowd. All of my Chinese colleagues are females. And they all seemed to be so slim and pretty. Their skin seemed so milky smooth and freckles free. I felt like ugly duckling among them. It was amazing to find that all of them actually older than they look. I had a good time with them with a lot of laughter and HR types jokes - whatever that means. We had another good meeting, fire drill, followed by another meeting until 6 pm. Questions pouring in like waterfall and I was flabbergasted by their good questions. My boss did not exaggerate when he said that China HR were smart women.

In the evening, my friend and I went to the Silk Market again. We are getting real good in bargaining hence we found it quite addicting to compete on how low could we negotiate. We managed to emptied our wallet traded by cute things and I started asking my friend to loan me some money. Embarrassing, I know. But what can I say? I was a slave of Chinese product.
