Playing Rugby in Subway

If there’s no functions, no meetup, no networking, I will spend my weekend at Ron’s place in Songjiang (somewhere near Thames Town – an English Village) to stay away from my stress and hectic job. Songjiang, popular with its natural beauty and sprawling landscape, is a very quiet and relaxing place. There’s no highrise, less people and no traffic jam. It’s like having a holiday in a resort.


On Monday morning, I will take Ron’s company shutter to Lianhua metrostation at 7:50am. When I reach Lianhua, it’s around 8:40am, took subway to XuJiaHui station, getting a cab, by the time I reach office, it’s 9:20am! Seems a long journey huh!

I hate going to the metro on Monday’s morning. Why? I hate playing rugby with the mainland Chinese! You will need to be very strong and squeeze like mad when the subway’s door opens. Face to face, back to back, chest to back… It pissed me off when their armpit stink, or their cloths smell musty! ARRRgggggg!!!

BBQ in Winter


We had a BBQ today at Oriental Green Haven. A wonderful place with gentle scenery, ponds and lakes, gardens, bamboo woods… It’s quite a huge place. The BBQ garden was located at the northern part – an area where you can see architeture with British, American, Spain features or something, each equipped with adequate modern holiday facilities such as tennis courts, sand volleyball courts, natatoriums etc..

The Eastern part is where the martial aircraft carrier stands tall and upright near the lake bank, show you the secrets of modern military science. I think the most exciting part is the “Bravers Trip”. On the 200m long road for bravers, you can climb, jump, creep, run or whatever your body can do without tools in order to pass the military barriers and net twine labyrinth.

Well, the barbecue food was not nice. Was said “Unique Barbecue Food” with beverage and snack included. We booked 5 BBQ pit with little food and choices each pit – taiwanese hotdog, fish balls, half pigeon, few slice of beef, and ‘man tou’ (chinese bread). I don’t like it personally… :) but I do love the scenery!
