First field trip.

I didn’t have time to write this, but the week before last I was in the NE for my first ever field trip. It was a 3 day trip to Liaoning. Stayed in Shenyang, and traveled to Yingkou for 1 day.
It wasn’t very intensive, but definitey physically challenging. I felt exhausted going back to the hotel in Shenyang on that Yingkou day. The coach ride was a full 2 and a half hours.
It was also a challenge for me to really try to interview somebody, and try to get as much information as possible, on an industry that I didn’t have any experience. But then again, I don’t have experience in any industry…
All in all, I don’t think I wasted my time on this trip. It was demanding, but also rewarding. The only painful thing was that the more I saw and noticed, the more I had to write down in my notes… I spent a whole afternoon typing furiously…
