| I was at Ad:Tech and being in the interactive business, have to say the whole thing was great. They were handing out headsets for simultaneous translation in both English and Mandarin so the language barrier you mention was not a problem. The panelists were able to debate issues with each other in either language and it worked well. Admittedly, the keynote events were a bit dull.
If it hadn't been in Shanghai, I would not have found it so stimulating. I'd never been there before and was really pleasantly surprised by the city in the 2 days I was there, apart from the smokers everywhere and the scary drivers. I found the service to be more genuine than in Hong Kong. I should also thank you for your info (including map) on how to get to my hotel from the airport which I was scrambling to find on Monday morning. You're right - I couldn't find any official airport or city map and ended up on your site and clicking a few times. I printed it out in colour and used it anytime I got in a taxi. Having said that, none of them knew how to read the map, or knew where Pudong Park was, and yesterday I had to resort to drawing a sketch of the TV tower to avoid completely missing my breakfast appointment. Thanks! |
