After a whirlwind day at the Shanghai office, I finished my meetings by phone-screening a candidate who, looking back, I think may have actually been retarded. Her son kept interrupting the call and I think she spanked him with me on the line. Let's just say she's not going to get the job.Everyone at the office was raging about the "Bond" area of Shanghai. I actually thought they were saying 'bun' so I figured it was some type of dim-sum place. It ended up being a neat waterfront area with shops and restaurants. It was already so late when we got there that we rushed to the first dinner place we saw. The meal was very ... international I guess. I was in no mood for more Chinese food to be honest. My coworker wanted to try something new so she ordered a huge foie gras appetizer. She had never tried it before, so I knew a disaster was in the making. She poked at it repeatedly, and pushed it around so much the waiter finally asked if everything was okay. I opted for the tuna dish, which was prepared on a fresh bed of ... foam. Yes, my dish was full of bubbles. They were salty. The main course for my coworker was pigeon risotto. Sounds gross, but it actually looked good. I don't know if "pigeon" is actually pigeon or if something is lost in translation somehow. Not worth the risk for me.
So I'm back to Hong Kong this afternoon ready to celebrate my last bachelor weekend. AC makes his grand entrance on Wednesday!
