Shenzhen Flextronics-Insulet Project

This is a wierd project to be in, where Mandarin is not the main language of communication. The site engineers are mostly from Hong Kong and they speak Cantonese among themselves. The technology is from US and there is a team of English speaking Americans. In the US team, there is this guy who was raised in Hong Kong, speaks Cantonese and American English. About 120kg and the best way to describe his waist is that "it has a circumference". He reminds me of the movie character "Fat Bastard".
I purposely brought the Chinese 3-pin plug for my notebook and I am very surprised that the default socket is the English one, the same kind that Singapore has. The reason I was told is that there are many Hong Kong people working here.
