Day 2 – Food and beer, cheap!

Day two and jet lag is still getting me good. This morning I was up by 5am. Hopefully my first jog here in China (3.4 miles) will help tire me out so I can sleep longer and through the night. Oh, the air quality today was pretty good and as the sun is setting I can actually see across Dushu Lake — the view is pretty stunning!

Today was my first trip back to the office since the interviews in February. The idea was to introduce me around to the team but turns out most of them left a bit early today after a great product review with the corporate VPs. My new manager decided it was time for some food and beer so we hopped into his car and went to a place he’s been before. Needless to say this was my first litre — yes 1L — of beer and man did it taste good with those skewered meats, dumplings, and boiled crawfish!

Today’s word of the day is 鸡 (Jī), meaning chicken. 鸡胸肉 (Jīxiōng ròu) though, is chicken breast, probably more useful.

Oh, and for some reason I cannot get my VPN to work on my iPad 🙁 Seeing as that tablet is 5 years old that doesn’t surprise me much, but it’s a shame … there goes my favorite Netflix watching device!
