i'll be going this august on a buying trip for my company. i have suppliers there and i'm going there to prepare for the holiday season items that we're gonna bring out. aside from that, it'll be some kind of exposure trip too. last may, we were already there to do the same. this is gonna be a regular activity now, maybe 3-4 times a year i have to go there. it's fun but i miss my kids whenever i go.

hey, i've been to ningbo a few years ago! i remember we went to a factory there for tshirts, all kinds of 'em. we had to take an airplane to get there from guanzhou or was it guangdong, i can't recall. i recall my host told me that "ningbo" means calm sea, is it?

thanks! it's fun but tiring too. some people think a business trip is like a leisure trip but it is, actually, work in some other place other than your usual office. but yes, the experience of going to other countries is worth the hardship. hope you get to go on your own trip soon!

I went to a Chinese school, but I never went to China. I want, too, so that I'll see what the country looks like. What business are you engaged in? Being away from family is really a hard thing sometimes. Well, your kids know that you're doing it for their future. :) take care always and God bless! :) Ahhmmm... pasalubong? ^_^
