This is it, the beginning - Qingdao

June 2013, mystery call from China... "Hej!, Arek, we need your help with the trainings for our coworkers in the new office in Qingdao..." . Had been smelled full of exoticism. Asia, China, Qingdao... I didn`t wait to long to say YES. However it seems to be just ordinary business trip. One week long. Preparations had been started in July. E-mails exchange, video conferences, agenda and training content creation. All done in few weeks. Air tickets and hotels booked. We will fly by LUFTHANSA from Berlin TXL.  Chinese visa - 5 days in Chinese Consulate in Warsaw and done. Life surprised me one more time. As we have drawers component  sub-supplier close to Shanghai, I've got the request to check the quality assurance work there. Wow! Two trips instead of one. Unbelievable. I'm going to visit Shanghai as well! 

High hopes, travel preparations, plans - what to see, how to be well prepared, what if I got sick, what about time zones, will I have a JETLAG? Countless questions. But one main thought - it will be the once in the time life journey. I have to utilise every day, every hour, every minute. There will be no second chance...
