Let me introduce my favorite museums in Shanghai.
The Shanghai Art Museum
My favorite museum in Shanghai is the Shanghai Art Museum.
The photo was originally published under Starbucks in A Day.
Location: North Huangpi Road, and West Nanjing Road (map).
Metro: Shanghai Metro Line #1, #2 People Square Station.
Land marker: It is just beside the Tomorrow Square (the JW Marriott Hotel). You won't miss the hotel by checking the highest building with arrow to the sky in the People's Square area.
Ticket Price: 20 RMB.
They have a nice website at http://www.cnarts.net/shanghaiart/index_c.asp
It is my most visited museum in Shanghai. The exhibition changes frequently, and the best exhibition I saw as the Impressionism : treasures from the national collection of France in 2004. Every time you go there, there is something new. The next big thing for the museum is Shanghai Biennale 2006.
The Kathleen 5 on the top of Shanghai Art Museum is a good restaurant, with nice very to the whole People's Park.
Shanghai Museum
Shanghai Museum is, maybe, the biggest museum in Shanghai. The name is confusing. I would rather call it Shanghai Ancient History Museum, since there is nothing about modern Shanghai in the museum. To be more exact, I would name it China Ancient History Museum (in Shanghai), since there is not many stuff originally from Shanghai, but from all across China. The museum tells the complete story of the history of China - the art, drawings, coins, jade, and ancient China...
Price: 50 RMB
Location: Center of Shanghai :-) - the middle of the People's Square.
Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center
I like this museum very much. It has a special area with real model of the city - you can see all the buildings within the Shanghai inner ring there. It is very good for technical guys to visit - you can understand how the city is built.
Location: Opposite of the Shanghai Museum - Exit at gate #1 of the People's Square and you are right at the gate of the museum.
Price: 30 RMB
Time: 9:00 - 5:00 PM, Mon - Thur, 9:00 - 6:00 PM, Fri - Sun
Others
There are many other museums in Shanghai. Above are only my favorites, and I didn't visit all museums in Shanghai.
For example, the Shanghai Grand Theater Gallery in the building of the Shanghai Art Museum is also good, and the paintings are for sale. The Bund Museum at the Bund was the old lamp tower for the Bund, and now turned into a museum. Didn't visited yet. The MOCA (Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art) in the People's Park is also good - newly opened, and aim to be something like MoMA... So plan some time in your next trip to visit these museums in Shanghai.
前几天看到网文 《中国知韩派眼中的韩国》 ,颇为感慨。自己以前也算和韩国 IT 人有一点接触,杂七杂八的说说我对韩国工程师的印象。
2003 年 8 月末,我加入了一家新公司。老板是个韩国人,在美国受的教育,这家公司是他和两个中国朋友一起创建的,公司性质却是美资,公司在韩国也有分公司,人数比中国大陆要多,当初为什么到中国而不是到印度开办分公司,记得老板解释过,主要是考虑到中国的文化和韩国文化相近。
因为业务关系,经常与一些韩国人接触,给我留下的第一个很深的印象是"刷牙"。这帮韩国人都是工作狂,每天在公司工作到很晚。吃过晚饭后,立刻就回到办公室,而回到办公室的第一件事情就是刷牙,刷牙的方式也很特别,口里根本不用含水,直接干刷,一边刷还一边走来走去的(穿的拖鞋),颇为神奇的是,牙膏泡沫根本就不会滴在地板上,很艺术。看到第一个人这样做的时候,我还以为是个人习惯,可是后来好几个人都这么做,真的有点晕。他们刷牙的时候,我也只好上上网什么的,浑身颇为不自在,彷佛自己多不讲卫生似的。
说他们是工作狂,倒似乎也不是很确切。他们虽然每天在公司很晚,可这段时间倒也不一定真的是在工作,似乎只是为了加班而加班。比如,L 课长的一个习惯是专门在每天晚上 9 点多的时候开始做事情,9 点钟之前到处走走转转,9 点之后就好像突然想起来什么似的,急得狠。然后整个项目组里的人都转动起来。忙到了大家都要回家的时候,每个人都松了一口气,似乎这一天真的很有效率。
晚上回不去,因为白天会议多,多而且长。一点点事情也要开个会,开会起来必然会说到很细节的问题,加上语言沟通问题,没个半小时一个会议根本开不完。经常在某个时间,办公区的人都看不到--全跑会议室去了。这个问题其实国内很多公司也存在。
--未完待续--

和建硕(博,网),Jack(博,网)很久不见,遂拟相约一起吃饭,相互更新新近状态。大家拼凑了一下日程安排,悚然发现在接下一个月里,只有8月4日晚的两个小时,三人有可能同时出现在同一个地方。为了珍惜这两个小时,我们把主题定为:What is the key learning in the past half a year? 和 What will I do differently if I can start all over again?
建硕写了几点关于商业,钱和人的感悟。Jack从一个技术怪才,变为商务人士。我很抱歉没有做什么准备。回来仔细考虑,从微软全球技术中心,转去市场销售部门的五个月里,到底有什么感悟,总结如下三点:
1. 技术是基,业务为王
2. 处世力(Interpersonal Skill)乃万力之王
3. 所有积累,今天无用,明日必有
共勉,并祝Jack,建硕达成目标。
