I had a
very long night. I suffered a lot with the Jet Lag. I wake up at 4:30 AM (17:30
in Brazil) and could not sleep anymore. I asked myself, should I call home?
Should I work a little bit? I forced myself to stay in the bed trying to sleep
again and to absorb the new time zone. After one hour rolling from side to
side, I could sleep again.
I met the entire
#IBMCSC China team at the breakfast. It was a great opportunity to meet
everybody in person after 3 months together participating in the preparation
calls.
After the breakfast,
Lisa (one of our interpreters), guided us to the supermarket. In the way we stopped
to a laundry to take a look in the prices. It was amazing a group of Chinese
has stopped us and asked to take a photo with the team. It was amazing. I think
that probably they have never seen so many people from different regions
together. I was feeling like a rockstar or as somebody from Mars.
The
supermarket was a great experience. I saw several different things. You can go
and choose an alive fish in one aquarium that they take with a net and wrap to you.
At 1:00 PM
we met to go to a city tour. We went to 3 different local attractions:
1 – Giant Wild
Goose Pagoda – A Buddhist Temple. It is a very interesting place.

At night,
my first experience with real Chinese food. It was FANTASTIC! I drunk a bottle
of plum juice. I also ate noodles, spaghetti, lamb meat and beef. I also ate broccoli
that was very tasteful. My biggest challenge was to use the shop sticks.
