My poor nose gets very bad these days. Everynight it's all stucked, that I could not sleep. And during daytime, it is always making me feel uncomfortable. Very itchy and running continuesly. I sneeze in every few minutes, use up tons of cleanex. I find it very difficult to concentrate on anything I do.
I went to see an old chinese doctor yesterday....so from now on, I have to take super bitter medicine soup twice a day, for a very long time.
I have I can cure this and have my healthy nose back. Nose~nose~I wish you the best.

What do you know about the T-shirt on you?
I have started reading "The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy" by Pietra Rivoli. This talks about the souvinier t-shirt you buy at Miami beach for 5.99 USD, could be produced in Shanghai, and exported at 1.28USD. And digging deeper, the cotton were grewed in Texas, USA.
I have only read the preface and the first chapter. One sentence grabbed my eyeballs: " You have to put on sunscreen in where you buy the t-shirt; you have to bring a gun for self-protection in where you make the t-shirt." This probably not talking about Shanghai, but could be Africa or South America.
Coincidently, the cover issue of recent Business Week in Taiwan is also about Globalization, but not the economy, the people instead. The journals suggest the best paid labours in the future are the ones able to fit themself in new environment easily and quickly. According to the journals, people like me are called "Global Nomads", or "TCKs". (Third Culture Kids). During my growing process, I live in a non-mother culture for most of the time. Every culture melts into part of my life experiences, but my life experience does not purely belong to any identical culture. I was born in Taiwan, grew up in Canada, work in China, and deal with customers from all over the world. I already find it difficult to identify WHO I am, where does my root belong to.
Anyway, teatime break is over.....I should go back to my work. Many of you are also TCKs, tell me how you think, I am very interested to know.

What I get from my job?
My job today is surfing the net. Cool eh? All I did this afternoon was surfing around all the big sites such as google, baidu, yahoo, sina....etc. Mostly Chinese websites. Searching how people's opinions toward my company's products--Aezda Folding Bicycles.
I smiled while I read. A father bought an Aezda Folding bicycle for his 7-years old son, after his son swim across the river...as an award. I am sure that aezda bike must have been a big deal to this courageous little boy. I feel happy, honored and proud....that our product has been used as an AWARD, a gift!!
This reminds me the other day I was in Nanjing shopping, I gave my business card to a sales person, for him to write up an invoice for me. He said "OH! Aezda! You are the one making the little foldable bikes....Can I receive discount if I present this business card to the dealer?" That made me laugh~ But I must admit, it was a great feeling. A feeling being acknowledged.
Unavoidbly, this job gives me heavy pressures. Many times, I think about quitting...but when I realize that our product, my hard work....have become part of someone else's life, I am satisified.

Velopark 2007, Moscow
This winter was amazing, I have visited a city full of art-- Moscow, Russia.
The bike show itself was ok, small but made its point. What I want to emphasize is the city, and the people living in that city. Russians (or at least Russians in Moscow) are so proud of themselfs. Everyone of them looks so distant and unreachable. They walk through subway station tunnel, as though they are walking on fashion show. Yes, everyone of them walks with a sense of arrogant and stillness.
The expenses there are very high. Hotel, transportation, food, souviners...etc. If consider their average monthly salary is only few hundred US dollars, you would doubt why 1 bottle of water prices at $1.00 in the supermarket.
The architectures were amazing. Those onion-heads cathdrals, the orthodox pillers, and the subway stations! A friend questioned about so many station photos in my Moscow album. Every subway station was designed in an unique style, and all were museum-like!! Many stations were deep down underground...You could stand on the escalator for 60 seconds for up or down. Guess what? Russians don't waste their time. I see many couples hugging and kissing during that 60 seconds on escalator.
