Looking back, spending two years in China was an exciting experience. Some I will miss, for others I am happy to be back in Munich.
Below pictures provide a insight on China’s sights and cultural diversity. The two years are documented at CNdxp .
Living in Shanghai was a challenge, at least for me. With 24 million inhabitants (as of 2014), the city is just huge. Many many people, whereever you go. Be it the subway in the morning, restaurants or some sights in the city. Always crowded. Worse on public holidays, such as the chinese new year, where all the 1.3 billion people start to travel at once. If you are into party and shopping, the city is probably a global benchmark. For others, this city is just very limiting.
China as a country provides a wealth of destination worthwhile to discover. The southern region with Hainan, HongKong and famous Guilin. The Yunnan Shangri Laand Tibet mountain regions. The north with Changchun and Harbin’s ice city. And the Beijing region, where China is now planning for a new MegaCity with over 100m inhabitants.
We participated with our „Big Mountain Sailing Team“ at the China Cup near Shenzhen. A year of team building and training helped us to build a track record, that enabled us to take part in China’s largest sailing challenge.
And, certainly, beside the fun there was also some work to do. Having within the two years some 100+ flights, many more customer visits, workshops and conferences to attend. Nice experiences were, when the german Staatssekretär visited, when we had our annual developer conference or when having some industry conferences.
