In the high-speed train, we can use high-speed train wifi to do work, I think it’s useful for business trip.

In Beijing, I had two meetings with my colleagues. I think this two meetings are effective. When I came back Shanghai, I can follow the meeting notes to continue the work. I can share you a happy thing: I had a date some girlfriends in Beijing, all of us took girl time in bar. The bar is very good, it’s in the top level of Park Hyatt Hotel. We can saw the whole Beijing town’s view in the night, it’s very beautiful. All of us drunk many cocktails. I chose a strawberry cocktail, it’s very sweet so I drunk many cups.
