Shanghai: Another destination to be pen-in in my travel diaries

Really enjoy travelling, going places, exploring new cultures & meeting new friends... though most of my travels have been intra-national up to date. The furthest i have been to is Bangkok, a long time ago when i was still a little kid. Had very vague memories of it, though mom & dad kept reminding me of how a sissy i was back then, whining, pouting & fits of tantrum whenever we had to cover distances on foot during the travel, always opting to stay indoors instead... But hey, can't really blame a 5 year old for that can you? Too young to have any sense of appreciation for vacation, i guess.
Now i've grown up to be quite the opposite.
The good thing about working for MNCs is that you'd be getting a good chance to be sent for trainings & attend conferences overseas. This one's going to be my 2nd. Will be presenting yet another technical paper at the 6th ISTC in Shanghai come middle march. Scope will be on photolithography process delay control. Whatisdat? - sounds like & reads like chinese kanji characters to the category bananas... (to most not in this industry). At least i played some part in this one, not the paper writing though; still to raw & inexperienced to cough-out technically neat stuff like this . Need to brush up a little more on the finer details of the paper & the presentation itself. Now, got to get my a$$ to work at it..
