Hi hernan, good morning. I was searching flights to shangahi ,china as you had told me yesterday. There is one that i like much, the cost is high(2200 dollars), its a round trip.The reason why i chose this one is because the flight is tomorrow. :) Also, you told me that you would like an hotel near the downtown, right? well, good news, i found one, it is not the best and not the worst, the price is slow and the rooms aren´t big enough, but you will be there just a couple of days. The wifi is free and the view is fantastic(i saw photos, i´m not jooking :) ). A fast food and a good restaurant are just infront of the hotel. Ohh... one last thing, talking about business, the puntuality there is very important as the clothes that are you going to wear. Please, keep in mind all of the advices i mention and good luckie with your trip my friend.

teacher•

Nice work Emanuel - and that's a good point about the price of a ticket when you have to get it on such short notice like that. lol Thanks for the travel information on the flight and hotels, the recommendations and for the well wishes on the trip, I'm sure it will be a huge success! Just a small tip - I would say "There's one that I like a lot!" Keep up the good work!

Final practice task

Help me plan a business trip to shanghai, China.

Do the following three tasks:

· Compare flights on a full-service carrier and decide on the best option.

· Find a hotel in downtown Shanghai.

· Research business etiquette in China.

Compare flights

I was researching through two websites in which I trust because they are quite reliable when it comes to be on time, the flights obviously, and I think I will choose United.com, because:

The airport where I would arrive in the other airline would be a bit fatter from the city where I booked my hotel, so in this case United.com is a better option on those terms.

Other airlines have a lower quote for more luggage which would be really nice if my trip were longer, but I needn´t to stay much so I don´t mind if I must carry less luggage, I can buy anything there if I need.

Personally I´ve tripped with United.com and so with my other options, and I remember clearly that is United.com the most comfortable in many aspects on which other airlines stay behind.

Finding a hotel

Well I don´t need anything too large although the company will pay I don´t see why I should choose a big room, so for me it´s enough that the hotel is near a mall, since I don´t like much junk food, it´d be nice if the hotel has a good restaurant, I usually ask the staff to retire the rest of pillows and just left one, I don´t like left them just anywhere but also can´t sleep well if I have more in my bed, it´s weird but I feel more comfortable, further than that I only need soap and shampoo for my personal cleanliness, because I usually have my own tooth brush and tooth paste.

Etiquette in China

I have never worked with a person of that culture but I browsed the Internet looking for some answers because I don´t want to be rough or disrespectful, so in that research I found the Chinese culture is more of long business relationships, instead maybe of a single and utilitarian project, I found also that are really strong hierarchies about the age, and something like honor or respect for oneself and others, due to his culture of long term relationships, you needn´t to try to hurry the negotiations because you could be seen like someone who don´t mind their time, interests and cooperation or investment, you are a guest so you don´t have to be a rude person or look like one, the best advice is to be humble respect others especially elders and go by the rhythm of your partners.

Final Project INSTRUCTIONS: For this final project, you have to plan a business trip to Shanghai, China. There are three main tasks to complete: 1. Compare flights on a full-service carrier and decide on the best option: Write a few sentences comparing the different aspects of your flight options (ie., “The layover on flight A is not as long as the one on flight B.”). Also, make sure to say which flight you decide is best for you and the reason why. 2. Find a hotel in downtown Shanghai: Write a short paragraph about the hotel that you want to stay at and include vocabulary of countable and uncountable nouns, related to hotel and travel. Make sure to use appropriate quantifiers when necessary. (ie., I chose this hotel because it has an excellent business center. The rooms also have lots of free toiletries, like shampoo and conditioner.” 3. Research business etiquette in China: Make a list of things you needn’t (or don’t have to) do when doing business in China. (ie., Giving gifts in China is common, but you needn’t buy something expensive.”) Post your responses in the resource section of this class. And don’t forget to enjoy your business trip!

Part 2: Hotel in Downtown Shanghai 🏨

My Response: "I decided to stay at the 'Grand Hyatt Shanghai' in the city center. I chose this hotel because it offers a lot of luxury services. The rooms have plenty of space (uncountable) and some amazing views of the skyline. The hotel has several restaurants (countable) with delicious food. Also, the staff provides a great deal of information (uncountable) for tourists. It includes many amenities (countable) like a pool and a spa."

Part 3: Business Etiquette in China 🤝

My Response:

"You don't have to tip at restaurants or taxis; it is not a common custom in China."
"You needn't speak fluent Mandarin, but knowing a few words like 'Ni hao' is appreciated."
"You don't have to hug your business partners when you meet them; a handshake is professional enough."
"You needn't finish all the food on your plate; leaving a little bit shows that you are full and the host was generous."
