Project: Success!

I was invited to China by Microsoft to work on a certain project – a project that complimented my research at school. However, my first week here I was reassigned to a new project. Not just new as in different from my initial project but new as in novelty – and we are literally starting from the ground level.

Alright – spirit of truth – I was a bit ticked off. Honestly, what we are doing has NOTHING to do with my career plans, desires and future choices. So after sulking for a day or two, I dove right in with both feet first. Suddenly everyone – myself included – began to see the enormous potential this project has to not only be successful in and of itself, but also to unite several teams within MSRA – something desired but with little fruition.

Turns out this project is a good order too (see last blog)…

My co-workers and I have started our own new tradition - one person chooses a restaurant representative of their culture. Naturally, we've had Chinese, Korean, Japanese and last night we had American. You can see from the below picture what I ordered :D  Definitely American...HA!
