UKTI “Doing Business in China and Hong Kong” seminar

July 2, 2009 by wroolie Leave a Comment

Today I attended the half-day “Doing Business in China and Hong Kong” seminar given by the Southeast UK Trade & Investment organisation.  It was a decent presentation which discussed some of the aspects of doing business with China.  It focused more on Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hong Kong than on the Northeaster areas I’m interested in, but it was very interesting all the same.

My trip to Dalian was supposed to happen a few weeks ago, but do to the bureaucracy of the UK Home Office, I had to cancel it.  I’m planning to make the trip within in the next few months.

Dalian Promotional Video

June 3, 2009 by wroolie Leave a Comment

In my preparation for the trip to Dalian, I’ve been watching a lot of videos on Youtube.

Here is a promotional video which shows a lot of scenes around Dalian.  I’m very excited.  But the city is a lot bigger than I thought it would be!

CISIS in Dalian

April 29, 2009 by wroolie Leave a Comment

As I’m finishing my current contract, I’m also trying to put in place plans to attend the CISIS (China International Software and Information Service) Fair in Dalian this June.  I’ve done a small amount of work with Chinese software developers before but haven’t really been to visit any of them.  The CISIS fair looks like a good opportunity practice my Mandarin and talk to some of the service providers in person. 

I’m really looking forward to it.  I need to get all my visa situation in order.  That, and I have concerns of the swine flu ruining everything.  But, if all goes to plan I’ll be there.

I’ll keep you posted.
