On Thursday, March 26, we traveled to Lenovo's new manufacturing plant in Shanghai. It was built in 2008 and opened in September. They manufacture Netbooks, Notebooks and Desktops. We were all able to go on the production floor and see how they manufacture the variety of computers. According to the general manager, they complete the production cycle in 13 days, and hope to reduce that to seven days in the near future. We were unable to take cameras into the company for security reasons, so I was unable to get good pictures of all of us in yellow Lenovo caps, white lab coats and slippers. That is a shame!
After the tour, we traveled to the Shanghai World Financial Center also built in the past year.
The brave ones went up to the top floor, 100 floors up. There, we took pictures of the skyline, and walked on glass floors that allowed you to view the ground so far below.
After the day was over, we all met for a spectacular boat ride. We had a chance fireworks display that was great!
Tomorrow, we have one more day of class and a panel. Then, we head off for Beijing. I am excited to see the difference in the two cities.
