Shadows of a Job

Well things are extemely busy here...finally!!! I've been visiting many factories and markets. I have taken the approach that "I'm here observing and trying to decide what kind of a business I want to start" It seems to work quite well, everyone must assume that I have money or they just want an American friend, regardless, It's gotten my foot in the door in many industries. I've learned the ropes of business here and have many offers to be a partner with several people. Believe me I'm soaking it up, if I just didn't have this drive for Grad school. Time will tell.

These are a few pics that I took for a friend from Vancouver in a factory. She is in the last week of trying to get her clothing line finished and shipped to Canada. She has worked independantly as a production agent for clothing brands here for 3 years and in Thailand for 2. She leaves for Canada to be the Production Manager for Aritzia (#1 clothing brand and retailer in Canada and a favorite of countless celebs)next week. I was asked to take some pics of the final product of select styles for her to email to the other half in Canada. The brand is a hip hop brand called Ephin. The rest of the pics are of me just walking around the factory until I was told that I was not allowed to take pics of the factory....whoops...I totally was waiting for it!

On a totally different page, Here are the pics from my trip to Beijing, Shanghai, and Macau. Once again I'll post the Slide show and a link to the album.
