This past weekend I traveled to Shanghai in order to attend the 2007 China Education Expo, an annual traveling expo showcasing international study abroad opportunities for Chinese students. While there, I also had the chance to catch up with several bloggers, speak with Steve Feld, the Executive Director the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business, and spend some time with Christine Lu of the China Business Network. I have to admit that serendipity seemed to follow me as I met up with a number of people, from a helpful and friendly group of Casablancan businessmen on the plane to the Chinese watch salesman that helped me find an Internet Bar when I needed it most.

This week I’ll be writing stories about my adventures and some of the fantastic dreamers I met in my few short days in Shanghai. Photos and maps will follow. Unfortunately, my camera battery died a quick, painless death on this trip, but others have been generous enough to donate their own photos.

PS–My regrets to missing Chris Carr of Cal Poly MBA Trip’s latest visit. He was in Beijing and I was not able to meet up with him to hear about the latest on his MBA program in California.

刚刚过去的这个周末，我在上海参加2007中国教育展，这是个一年一度的巡展，目的在于向中国学生展示国外学习的情况并提供留学机会。与此同时，我还有幸能与一些博客写手叙叙旧。我同马里兰大学史密斯商学院的校长Steve Feld有了交谈，还和China Business Network的Christine Lu聊了一会儿。我不得不承认，与一些人的相遇使我一路上好运相伴，他们可以是飞机上热情友善的卡撒布兰卡商人，也可以是在我最需要时帮我找到网吧的中国表贩。
这一周，我会写一些关于这次上海短期奇遇和一群让人惊叹的追梦人的故事。当然，照片和地图少不了。不幸的是，我的相机在半路上无声无息地夭折了，还好有好心人提供了他们的照片。

感谢Ken Yip所给的照片恩惠。

让人遗憾的是我错过了在加州科技大学访问之旅最后一站与Chris Carr见面的机会。他在北京，以致于我无法听他说说加州科大MBA项目的最新情况。
