  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction

    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction

    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Exchange Report

    Exchange Report

    Exchange Report Yonsei University (연세대학교) Seoul, South Korea KIM, Joo Eun BBA in Global Business & Marketing, Year 3 Fall 2017 Part I: Monthly Activity Log August 2017 I arrived in Seoul in late August, a few days before the dorm check-in day. After relaxing and exploring Seoul with my family and friends, I moved in to Yonsei University’s SK Global House on the 26th. The few days before Orientation is a great time to snap some gorgeous campus photos as students are still on holiday and there is barely any crowd. Most people after moving in went to stock up on home supplies at Daiso (this chain of stores has economical prices). There is a large Daiso located across the road from Exit 2 Sinchon station, and a smaller one before that right next to the station exit. For my SIM card plan, I got it activated at SK Telecom in the main Sinchon road in front of school. I found it really unique how you could pick the last four digits of your phone number. Before the start of the semester on September 1st, I had catch-ups with my family and friends who came to visit. We went for a fantastic Korean BBQ at 형제갈비 in Sinchon (the BBQ is incredibly pricey, but the 24H 갈비탕 is very worth it), visited 경복궁 while wearing 한복 and also had a refreshing 팥빙수 at the iconic 설빙 dessert place. September 2017 Semester started on the 1st, and the first week or so was about settling into the study rhythm and groove of the University lifestyle.
