meeting in Boeing--- excerpt from an email to my family

I went inside the Boeing in China's office today. And I was responsible for translation in the meeting!! I was really really nervous for it's very sudden and I didn't have time to prepare anything. While, as you know, Boeing is one of the most famous companies in the whole world. When I got inside the meeting room, I was awed. Around half of the participants were foreigners and the others were Chinese, but all of them were from high positions in big companies like Simens, Motorola, Boeing and so on, with very fluent English. The whole meeting went on in English talking about the newly enacted Labor Contract Law, quite interesting.
Also, I met an English lawyer who now works in Beijing as a legal consultant. Very nice experience. And I should say it was incredible. Almost everyone in the meeting room was at least twice of my age!

I guess this could be one of the most exciting afternoon in the whole internship. =P

前往Har ki Doon登山口

清早Kat的伯父帶我們出門,開車從小巷穿出,已經開始有婦女光著腳、頭頂容器出門。伯父說他平常也是差不多四點出門散步再回家吃早餐。(後來才聽Kat說伯父是個作息很神奇的人,十點到十一點睡,三點起,一天的睡眠大概就是這樣。老醫生的作息就是這麼樸實無華,所以可以退休後繼續做研究。)...
