Shen Zhen

Last time I was here was the Summer of 2007. I had not seen my parents for 3 years at that point, so for the very first time I booked a personal trip to China to visit them. It just so happened that a recruiter for Tencent contacted me for some interviews in Shenzhen that Summer. Long story short, I was a different person back then.

Compared with then, I'm now more conscious of what I eat, about working out and maintaining a balanced mindset. Compared with then, I'm now also more familiar with the China work dynamics.

Shenzhen is a quickly commercialized city. This time around, I haven't found anything unique about it. It's natural qualities would quality it for a Singapore-like city development, but unforunately everywhere you turn, it's business signs. I can't imagine myself living here.
