The workshop is held at SISU's old campus in Shanghai
City. A classroom equipped with airconditioner, Internet
access and powerpoint projector. The participants were
serious; it takes a skilled instructor and a few humorous
commentators to keep the class in good spirit.
|
|
The workshop is often divided into five subgroups to
discuss various topics. Each group will draw its own
conclusions and prepare their views to the whole class.
Flip charts are used to summarize findings and
conclusions. Here shows the subgroups at work.

Presenters can use PowerPoint and Internet to convey
his or her ideas.

Farewell Dinner. Toast to each other.

The "Yellow Wine" is a local special rice
wine that enjoys a good reputation nationwide. Since the
international airlines have made carry-on very
restrictive, the only sensible thing to do with this
souvenir from SISU is to give to a wine enthusiast friend
of mine, his last name happens to be Dr. Hwang (means
Yellow).

Karaoke is an entertainment fairly popular in Asia for
quite many years. Shanghai like many other cities have
these night club like places where people sing familiar
songs played with karaoke (video music with song lyrics).
Our hosts are great Karaoke singers whereas Ifay has to
stare at the lyrics to follow.

Shanghai's City museum is quite impressive both in
architecture and in the artifacts it has to exhibit. The
coin and jewelry collection was very interesting and
objects as gifts given by foreign diplomats to Chinese
Emperors were also interesting.

Zhen-Huan-Miou is a name of a famous temple where
nearby many vendors gather as a market place. It is now an
organized market tailored to tourists who can discover
many unusual and usual Chinese arts and crafts.

I call this place a vast (and fast) food place, it is
served buffet style but charged a la cart with hundreds
different dishes and foods. I enjoy watching others order
and eat more than I do it myself since with my high
cholesterol, I usually do not want to spend time to make
decisions on what to eat.

Zhen-Huan-Miou at night is lit up. The overall
architecture follows the temple design. The buildings are
connected and lined up several narrow streets. The small
shops, merchants and artists just filled these buildings
and streets. Most artists (water color painter and stone
or bone sculptors) fill your order right on the spot so
you can watch them work.
