Busy in Shanghai

Preparing for Shanghai was a mad dash in the end. We barely got ourselves out of Raleigh, leaving many loose ends. We didn’t get to properly bid good-bye to many friends and return all the email well wishings.

It’s been a busy 7 days in Shanghai. We had many accomplishments:

  • Passed our health check-up (required for residency permit)
  • Opened a bank account (with debit/ATM card)
  • Bought transportation cards
  • Found an apartment and signed the lease
  • Attended the symphony
  • Had the phone and ADSL installed
  • Had our hair cut
  • Visited with Sun-Ling’s relatives.
  • John attended 2 days of IDF (Intel Developer Forum) at the Shanghai Convention Center last week.

It all sounds very exciting! We just concluded Halloween here at home-a first for the Huemer/Meckley crew now living under one roof. Glad to hear you passed your health test:-)
