Pavia Shenzhen step 3

[发怒][抓狂][骷髅][弱]
OK I am pissed off. Sometimes apparently the easiest things are the hardest to solve.
I am trying to get my second visa to China and I were hoping this time things would have goon smoothly.

Yesterday I took my train, went to Milan and, happy-go-lucky the whole computer systems was down, spent there just a 5 hours waiting for the system turning back, no luck…

So I took my train today, hoping for a better result…

Guess what… Murphy’s laws …. The invitation letter was wrong (same old story), states 30 day stay not 60 as needed, and could not be nor annual nor multi entry because a company is not entitled to make those requests. …

So at the end….
I will not have the annual  multientry Visa but just a 6 months 2 entry. And only 30 days stay so I will be forced to go to Hong Kong and get back to shenzhen just to be able to stay the 6 weeks requested, cheaper than change flights already purchased anyway…

Then for the next trip, other visa other money other go back and forth from the consulate.. just Hoping I got the visa on Friday
[抓狂]arrrrrghhhhhhh

After a few days in Shenzhen

OK

time sto say something about my first days here in Shenzhen. I passed a whole week now and I have a better vision. I have to admit I like this place, people is kind and the work environment here in Huawei is great.

The Hotel room is not the most luxurious (I’m at Elite Garden Hotel) but the overall impression is really positive, clean and good service, outside there is a lot of trees and it is a pleasure to walk around. Services like gym, swimming pool, areas to play basketball (not for me of course)…everything looks great.

Then the food, guys if you have ever been used to Italian company restaurant this will amaze you for quality and price. of course you have to like Chinese food, but believe me is great. From breakfast to dinner you have a great choiche of good affordable food.

And when you go to restaurants, or try the chinese wine…. is a great experience, believe me.

As I told before people is great, really kind and try to make you feel comfortable. I’ve been lucky enought to find a great group to work with.

I will have more time to explore and learn about this incredibly wonderful country, but as of today I have to say that China is worth the flight!

back soon

Day one, getting ready .

I’m going to Shenzhen,  my first visit to china started with a tight schedule. Finally i got the visa this morning, as the ticket to flight. I went to chinese consulate by train from Pavia, thanks Cucciolina to drive me to Pavia station, to collect my passport with visa, then I used Uber for the first time to go to the airport. Good service, cheap and you can pay with paypal…..
Now at linate airport, checkin is still closed but the warn us that because of a private airplain that should be removed ther could be delay and cancellations. A private plain … that remind me bad things. But seems ok now, they just told us that the plane has been removed, may be it is just the udual italian bad parking attitude.
I miss my family when i travel, wish to share the experience with Cucciolina and Xiadani. Ok let me check if i can check in. See you later.

It’s the truth, I signed for a new Job.

I’m now EBG Cyber Security Expert for Huawei Enterprise Business Group. Within the EBG Cyber Security and Information Security Department I will be responsible to build up Cyber Security brand and reputation and win the trust of the global market.

It has been an incredible start for an incredible journey.

My base will be splitted between Shenzhen and Milan so I will have to travel a bit. It is an exciting and Amazing new journey that I’m thrilled to start.

I will go to Shenzhen probably next week and it will be my first approach to China, a place that I always wanted to know better.

So I will let you know about my next adventure.

ciao

Antonio
