It was an amazing week with Nike but an even more amazing weekend with JiYoung. In our 3 days we managed to pack in a ton. From people watching in People’s Square to shopping on Nanjing Road, we did the usual Shanghai stuff. Then we took it out of the box with a little traditional Chinese Oper and a trip outside of Shanghai to Zhou-Zhang which is the Venice of China (amazing). We encountered some really nice, smelling, amazing and/or rude people. The highlight included the boutiques and art galleries of ThaiKongLu and the lowlight was the mean taxi driver who took us for a 1.5 hour ride and tried to trick us out of some money. I had to bitch-slap him in chinese and get out!!

Overall it was a blast. And though I’m chinese by birth, I must say that though China will be the business story of our lives, it still has a long way to go in many ways. For me, it’s still so in the early stages of development. On top of that growth is the burden of 1.3 billion people that have to be taken care of. Coming back to Seoul, it really made me realize how evolved it is here from technology, process, sanitation and communication. Nowhere is perfect but we’re all in different places of learning. I have no doubt that china will get there and when it does, it will take the world to a whole new place. I can’t wait!!  Flickr Photo Set!

“Who are these guys, anyway?”
A quote from Jim Street / MLB.com

Baseball is known to be a game of records and statistics. But one nation had to be an exception. They challenged the predictions made based on records and proved that statistics are nothing more than numbers. Instead, they showed the world the very pure catalyst that burns up the passion for the game of baseball. And they showed the world one thing that was missing from numerous records and statistics: Tuhon (“the Korean fighting spirit”), the word that has been with them for the longest time.

Just Do It.

White Day!!! The Korean holiday where the man takes car of the woman. Kind of like Valentine’s Day in the states… but flipped flopped!! So for our second white day, it was a little low key but (the calm before our shanghai trip)…  All Smiles!! Cool. Well done if I do say so myself :)

The second annual White Day!

Part I of our new furniture buying spree… a new chandalier!! Beautiful, modern and elegant. Wait till you see the rest. Our home has been transformed from a boring bachelor pad to a modern home for the “cool” global couple!
