Return to Taipei for 3 days and then fly to SH. This is the blog I record in SH:
2012.02.23 Shanghai
Fly the first flight to SH for Xinwei College inauguration ceremony, seldom took China airline and not often flew from Taoyuag airport since Sun Song open the direct flight to Hung Quio. A new experience. China Airline have a better seat, the screen in front equip with USB charger. A great finding, I take a look at “ Worrier “ the movie, I may finish it on my return flight tomorrow.
I take 4 different today in SH. First taxi drive drove me to the college, a very humble and modest driver, who welcome me to his small town and thanks for my visiting, for taking the short –cut – passing superhighway, he explain the token fees is less than if we took the long route.
Second taxi driver drove me to Pu Tong underground station, a country yard driver who share with me how envy he want to see the democracy in CHINA to be inspired form the Taiwan experience, corruption and education system is what he upset the most. No virtue in China, no virtue education system and value.. it came from a taxi driver and not only one. The 3rd taxi driver who drove me to Pu Xi, the total taxi fees from Xinwei to Puxi is 200 RMB plus – more than 1000 NT.
The campus of Winwei is so nice, motto : Freedom , Passion and Conscience, modern hardware, building and teaching equipment, great line of faculty, I miss the part Ming – Chairman and Founder giving his speech, but I managed to sit with my Forum brothers and having lunch box with them.
I enjoy Trevor’s demonstration about the Mediascape system in collaboration work in learning and teaching, it hard to see there do exist a position so “ Learning specialist “, and Xinwei’s professors come up with a “ Team teaching “ rule which is quiet impressive also.
Get in touch with Jess Lee – She is happy to hear my voice, check with Antonio and get to his office for the briefing and update – he is not happy with the current situation, but work a song for Chu Hwa seems to be a “ no problem “ deal. I am thinking to create something with him in regard to our music passion.
Yesterday , manage to get the fee-waive for attending OFF in Oslo and manger to be in touch with Miguel and set a date to see him in Portugal again. By mid May.
Coco will treat me at her house in HK by March 7th, again a good start. Kevin Lin came to me again and show me his great plan in build his brand….
Matthew is the person I am paying more intention, I don’t know what I may offer him at the beginning stage since I have nothing on hand. Maybe I should do it first myself. Yes. Jean’s advise about finding more angles, well, I should give it a try.
