I just came back from a 5 day vacation in Taipei. I made up my mind that I really needed to leave Shanghai to clear my head, so I decided to extend my visa run to give myself a little breather. It was exactly what I needed, time off to hang out with an old friend, make some new ones, and see life outside the lenses of BigLaw.
Coming back to Shanghai was hard.
But today's a beautiful day in Shanghai. It's incredibly sunny and bright outside and there's not much to do in the office. It's a good day (meteorogically and work-wise).
So let's take it one day at a time - celebrate each good day and endure each bad one.
