Così il gweilo ha ottenuto su un volo della Cina dell'aria.
Sembra che ero l'unica persona di non-Cinese sull'aereo.
La scossa della coltura ha cominciato là. L'aria Cina di volo non è come il volo Air Canada. Prendiamo le nostre comodità occidentali per assegnato e realmente non apprezziamo che cosa abbiamo fino a che non abbia tolto. Ciò era una buona, prima introduzione graduale di fase per me. Prenda tutti che siamo usati a qui e battilo giù tre tacche. Spazio, servizio, qualità se toilette, disposizione dei posti a sedere, o alimento. Non ho sofferto, ma mi sono reso conto che ero come un tipo della città che va visitare i cugini del paese sul podere. Stavo andando da una società sviluppata ad una società di sviluppo. Stavano provando a aggiornare con noi e stavano facendo un lavoro grande, ma…

Così il gweilo ha ottenuto su un volo della Cina dell'aria. Sembra che ero l'unica persona di non-Cinese sull'aereo. La scossa della coltura ha cominciato là. L'aria Cina di volo non è come il volo Air Canada. Prendiamo le nostre comodità occidentali per assegnato e realmente non apprezziamo che cosa abbiamo fino a che non abbia tolto. Ciò era una buona, prima introduzione graduale di fase per me. Prenda tutti che siamo usati a qui e battilo giù tre tacche. Space, service, quality whether washrooms, seating, or food. I did not suffer, but realized that I was like a city guy going to visit country cousins on the farm. I was going from a developed society to a developing society. They were trying to catch up with us, and doing a great job, but were not there yet.
 
Alone with my thoughts, I wondered and worried. What was I getting myself into? The pangs of being alone were deep. It would be four months before Lovy would join me. Without her at my side, I was at the mercy of others and my own mental meanderings. Would Dan and his partners, Wu Bing and Peter, accept me? Would the Chinese staff accept me? How would I order things since I didn’t know the language? Would I succeed? How would I begin? What would I do?

Then the “what ifs” started. What if they don’t accept me? What if I don’t succeed? What if? What if?

Last night, I was on MSN chatting with my client, whose trading WFOE (Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise) incorporation is being proceed by me currently. He hired a 21 year old assistant to assist him in daily affairs. My client sacked her a couple of days early, for her irresponsibility and laziness, and is seeking another assistant, so he asked me if I happened to know anybody. I introduced a girl who’s intending to quit her present job, and they seemed to have a good conversation on MSN later.

Last night, I was on MSN chatting with my client, whose trading WFOE (Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise) incorporation is being proceed by me currently. He hired a 21 year old assistant to assist him in daily affairs. My client sacked her a couple of days early, for her irresponsibility and laziness, and is seeking another assistant, so he asked me if I happened to know anybody. I introduced a girl who’s intending to quit her present job, and they seemed to have a good conversation on MSN later.

The girl was concerned with the mandatory social insurance thing. The problem is, since the trading WFOE is still under incorporation, she wants to know whether she can still get the five social insurances during the first several months before the trading WFOE is legally established. Well, I think it’s an issue between the employer and the employee, and I literally cannot help. So I just reminded my client about the different social insurance treatment against the local Shanghai people (who have Shanghai Hukou) and those non-local staff.

To open restaurants in Shanghai, you’ve got two options:

1. Establish a wholly foreign owned catering management company.

If you want to franchise in Shanghai or intend to sell your restaurants in the future, option 1 would be fit for you …
