My boss's boss's boss offered me a special assignment in Xiamen, China for the second half of 2008. I took it and now here I am.

Office furniture

They hooked up the phone and electrical yesterday for my new office, so I officially moved in this morning.

I think they bought me the biggest desk in China. Until this morning, I didn’t realize it’s about 5” higher than anyone else’s, and the chair they bought for me sits high enough that when I lean back, my feet dangle (no kidding). Even the cleaning lady said something. (At least I think she did. She pointed at me and said something in Chinese including the word tall, then she pointed at the desk and said something else with the word tall. And then she laughed, so I did too.)

I think this country only has two sizes: small and really, really big.
