We just arrived for now nearly 3 months.
In Shanghai for the first time. first expatriation with my whole family.  I have 3 kids. 15 / 12 /9
It was hard. We were close contact with cover cases 3 seats
When you arrive you have your test.

3 days after after landed they called us to tell us the good news so they went to get us at home with the special bus and drive us in a special quarantine hotel.
They split the family. My son is very calm and my husband was working at this time so it was staying with my daughters.

Just a window and it was very dark. They had a long time not cleaned the window.
It is better to be here than in France.
We chose to come here in December. we took the decision after we didn’t know if we still come or not. it wasn’t sure for 2 or 3 months but in May we confirmed that we will come here to live here

I am still in contact with my company, they have a business unit which works on clinical trials  and they are interested in the business in China because this unit works on biology. When a drug is in test some patients are enrolled in the trial and we have to test markers every week or 2 weeks to observe the status /evolution of markers and side effects of the drug

there are a lot of pharmaceutical companies and they would like to develop the Chinese business.
So it is an opportunity for my company.

I have to work in English for this business and I need to be more fluent in work.
We have some partners here and it is a real business job.

the staff helps you to download and explains you because you cant imagine. There is the only place where you can see that. you don’t have that in any country.

If I had imagined all these things we would not have come.
