Bound for Shanghai

I'm bound for Shanghai n a few weeks. I'll be teaching a course for some business colleagues there. It will be my first trip to China. It's unfortunate all these trips are for business, in that I'm always traveling to city centers and kept busy from morning until night. There's never been enough time to be a tourist or traveler or sightseer. On the other hand, it's also on someone else's nickel. There's nothing really romantic about this kind of travel ... it's a lot of work. In this case, I'll have to spend quite a bit of time preparing for the course, then 8 hours a day teaching, and a few hours each night preparing for the next day's classes. And, that's the day job. I'll also have to take care of my normal, day to day, business of managing people, taking care of the finances, and all the other fun involved in my day job.

Anyway, enough whingeing. It's still exciting to travel to China.

Back here in Australia, Spring is almost here. It's great to have some good whether again.
