True Story

So, I was in Victoria station the other day waiting for the Maidstone East train to go down to my grandfather’s house.  I arrived at 5:58 and my train was at 6:22.  I figured I had enough time time to stop at the ‘Cornwall Pasty (spelling?) Stand’ and buy myself a Steak and Stilton pasty. [...]

Continental Flight to London (backdated)

What is it with me an in-flight entertainment systems. Recently, every time I’ve taken a long flight where access to movies and music is considered a humanitarian service to prevent the passengers from going insane, the in-flight entertainment system has crapped out on one row, or one section of seats on the plane, and it [...]

Newark Airport, Aug 18 (backdated)

Well, here I am sitting in Terminal C, Gate 86 waiting to board my flight to London Gatwick. After waiting in line at the Virgin Atlantic check-in desk (Terminal B), I was told that my flight, while a Virgin flight, is operated by Continental Airlines (nice of them to tell me) and that I had [...]

Blog Updates

Well, since I’m moving to London in one week to start the London Business School MBA, I thought I should update by blog. I don’t live in Yantai and longer, so the blog description had to be changed. I’m no longer a factory manager, but now a poor MBA student. I’m also toying with the [...]

Writing sample to become an LBS MBA blogger

I can hardly believe Aug 26th is nearly here. My level of excitement couldn’t be higher, and I feel as if I have been waiting a long time for the LBS MBA to begin. I suppose I have been though… Shortly after my first visit to London Business School in June of 2006, I decided [...]
