11 more days! - 1st April 2011

Ahhhh Finally I feel much much better as compared to yesterday. Today's tour required us to walk more as we are going to many different locations like the Beijing Olympics Stadium 鸟巢, National Palace Museum 故宫博物院, National Theatre for Performing Arts 北京国家大剧院 and Tian An Men Square 天安门. It was loads of interesting factual information about the History of China which covers the high power distance between people.

As the world is modernising, the power distance ratio in some countries are decreasing to make the world a more comfortable place. In the past, the Emperor (President) would have a separate road to walk on and separate door to walk through. But now, the President uses the same road as everyone and uses the same door that many other people walk through.

However, as China only opened their doors to the world less than 100 years ago, they have developed to a country where people are willing to invest a lot into but there still much more to improve. That rate of development is not so rapid as compared to Singapore because of it's size! TianJin itself is already ~15 times the size of Singapore. Imagine the time needed to develop the whole country to it's full potential, that is going to take quite some time. The overall state that it is brought up to now is considered to be shocking as they did it in just 62 years. Determination is key.
