Due to the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival IBM were on holiday from Monday to Wednesday, and so today is only my second day at work. Unfortunately due to the holiday, everyone seems to be busy in meetings and catching up and so I've been given a few...

On arriving in China

It is said that only 7% of communication is through the actual words we speak to one another... and right now I can safely say that: 1. Based on my lack of mandarin this is probably just as well, and 2. It certainly doesn't feel like it! I have been...

Bye Bye Beijing

I started to write this on the high speed train between Beijing and Shanghai; possibly the most comfortable train I’ve ever been on! After finishing the internship with IBM I went off to see as much of China as is possible in 12 days. This blog...

'I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand'

I've tried to articulate both the depth and breadth of my discovery's since landing here in Shenzhen seven weeks ago, and I hope my talk of the people, the places and my escapades has gone someway to evoking imagination as well as filling in the...

Blog 6 - The World Transformation Team

It has been a very challenging week work wise as it has emerged my project research revolves around someone who has been on holiday since last week and till next Thursday. It has been quite obstructive but to compensate I've been working a lot more...

'Grow your Network'

Executives or Interns, men or women, as Scots Globally no matter where or when or indeed why- we all take pleasure in the same things…. - the sound of a Scottish accent - the ability to share our humour - and…the opportunity to help I realised...

'T' in China

As the Scottish festival season reached it's Tennants fueled climax, and Radio One repeatedly plays the 'Scottish is' clip I can't help but feel pangs of both patriotism and jealousy. It's not that I have any great longing to spend...

An internship at IBM opens a lot of doors...

....But not necessarily my office door which remained steadfastly and agonizingly shut for an hour on Tuesday morning. I called security but was left in the lurch, with no means of knowing how long they'd be I had to stand outside my door - leaving...

Food Poisoning and a Change of Pace

The past two weeks have been a mix of ups and downs. At the end of week one we made a visit to the great wall. It was as amazing a spectacle as I imagined although the constant stream of American/European tourists and people selling "I climbed the...

No excuses, Excecution!!!!!

On Wednesday I visited the IBM manufacturing facility here in Shenzhen (Futian, free trade zone). On arrival I was met by a sign reading- NO EXCUSES, EXECUTION. I interpreted it to mean 'No excuses, work', but it tickled me. Since my arrival here...

Nihao from Beijing!

Chinese (Mandarin) is a very strange language and learning it no simple task. First you must master sounds you didn't know your mouth could make. Then you have to learn to distinguish the different tones which can fundamentally alter the meaning of...
