#interninginshanghai

[muhleeshasaur]

I have loved interning in shanghai this far well because I have my own two monitor desktop facing xintiandi's park that hosted shanghai fashion week and interstellars premiere. But beyond the technology perks and location (xintiandi!!!) I have grown to love my office! My coworkers are so culturally curious which makes explaining western things like gravy, brownies, and smorz so much fun! I will have to snag some smorz ingredients to bring to the office! It also makes proof reading and teaching nitpickey grammar easier since I'm helping a friend as opposed to feeling hired to be an English teacher. I also do love the espresso machine that my company has.... I never have to add sugar to the coffee and it always has the perfect foama each time. I only hope my future workplace has this beautiful thought producing machine. I also from a coworker learned about shanghainese culture! For example the prune candy pictures above is a child favorite that every shanghainese kid grows up eating! It's a great thing to know since it's these small cultural nuggets if knowledge that can bring me closer to a person initially and closer to those who cherish this prune candy.
