I have caught up with many of you who knew me before and I am busy getting around to meet all of you who have recently moved in. 新年おめでとうございます。 初めまして、Fumi （フミ） と申します。どうぞよろしく お願いします。 Now that that memorable winter is well behind us you can start to enjoy some of the many changes that are unfolding around the Centre. The motor court is probably the most significant transformation and is sure to elevate your arrival experience. Be sure to drop by the newly renovated Element Fresh, the Nanjing Road window seats on the second floor are my favorite spot. The Tea Garden, The Lobby Lounge, Jazz Bar & Business Centre will all have a fresh new look this spring, be sure to check them out. Some of the upcoming “must do” Spring events around the Centre include the upcoming Easter Party on March 22, this will be held in the Atrium. For ice cream lovers, our popular Haagen-Dazs Coffee Corners will resume on April 27, enjoy complimentary Haagen-Dazs & coffee and some great chit chat with your neighbors. Over the next few months I look forward to meeting each and everyone of you, should you wish to contact me I can be reached at ext. 6759 or at [email protected]. 私は大学で日本語を専攻し、 卒業からずっと日系会社に勤 めていました。大学でも、経 験してきた会社でも、日本語 を勉強したり、いかしたりす ることができ、本当にありが たいことだと思います。 2007年8月から、上海商城のカスタマーサービス部門の 一員になりました。サービス業は私にはまったく新しい業 界で、且つ少しも体験したことのない欧米系会社の企業文 化のゆえに、仕事を始めた頃はすごく不安でした。 幸い、経験深い同僚たちにいろいなことを親切に教えてもら い、仕事にも環境にも順調に慣れてきて、短い期間で落ち着 きました。今でも、まだまだ不十分ですが、仕事に関するノ ーハウを身に着け、心をこめてレジデントの方々に効率的に よりよいサービスを提供するようにがんばります。 サービスに関するご希望、お問合せがございましたら私ま で連絡して下さい。 最後に、今年の目標として、新しい外観になる上海商城で レジデントの方々や同僚たちと楽しく一年を送りたいと思 います。 これからも、どうぞよろしくお願いします。 サービスに関するお問合せは内線6666 もしくは [email protected] まで Kurt Sigouin Property Services Director Shanghai Centre Management Office Suite 710, 1376 Nanjing Rd.

Layers of clothing begin to be peeled off, windows are opened and flowers begin to bloom on the trees again. After the winter, the idea of getting out to enjoy the milder temperatures is in many people's thoughts. Without the up coming Labour Day May holiday this year, and with people's busy lives, it's time to dig up ideas for ways to escape either in body or in mind that don't take up so much time. The weekend break has always been a popular way to get a little rest and recreation without the hassle of major travel. Over at Great West Travel, owner Rachel Wang has some ideas for escaping the madness of Shanghai. Rachel has been giving advice on holidays in China unofficially since 1991 when the Centre first opened and she was here with her Project Manager husband, and officially since 1994 when she opened her travel agency in the Centre. An ever popular location close to Shanghai that is easily accessible by both car and train is Hangzhou. A walk around West Lake or a visit to the tea country, home of the famous Longjing tea, will soothe many a troubled soul. However, for something that little bit extra, Rachel suggests a stay at the Fuchun Resort. Here, whether it's a round of golf on the award-winning course, or chilling out with a spa treatment that you are after, the staff at Great West Travel are able to customdesign a package especially to suit your needs. Even closer to home is the Taihu golf villa, only an hour's drive away near Suzhou. For those who want to experience the picturesque karst mountain scenery of Guangxi Province, Great West also arranges packages to HOMA, a resort in Guilin. Only two hours' flight and you can relax in the 1500 acre grounds or take one of the classes offered such as yoga or cooking. Over at Jade Travel, they also list Hangzhou and Guilin as great Spring getaways. Other suggestions include short trips to Moganshan or the canal town of Zhouzhuang. Jade Travel organises one day trips to Zhouzhuang in Jiangsu Province, about 30km from Shanghai. Moganshan is a mountain town in Zhejiang, around 60 km from Hangzhou, that was populated by missionaries and a popular retreat from the heat of the Shanghai summer for the wealthy in the early 1900's. Here you can wander through bamboo forests and take coffee at Moganshan Lodge Spring escapes or stay in five-star luxury at gangster Du Yuesheng's former villa. For those of us who want to get started early on their tans, Jade Travel has a threenight, two-day package to Sanya on Hainan Island. However, many of us may not have the time to get away for a long weekend break, so a picnic is an ideal way to relax and enjoy spring. For a continental twist to your feast, Paul Bakery has a wide range of pre-packaged sandwiches and salads as well as their decadent cakes, which are packaged in chic boxes to take away. As Vice-CEO, Laurence Levillair says, “Paul food is ideal as most of it can be eaten with your hands.” Sandwiches form an Shanghai Centre March|April 3 Finally, if you are really so pressed that even a picnic is out of the question, then at least take time out to stop at Häagen Dazs for a sweet treat. Enjoy classic strawberry which is a great flavour for spring and for romance, try an aptly named Spring Ecstasy – a vivid display of colours in a tall glass or relive childhood with a Banana Split. Watch the world go by and relish a moment of decadent bliss. Centre News Farmers' Markets on Hold The Shanghai Centre farmers' markets will continue to be postponed until the motorcourt revitalization project is complete.

Sponsor Appreciation Shanghai Centre would like to thank all of their Annual Party Sponsors: Trane, Johnson Control, Nippon,Tong Ji, Fujitec,Yin Nan, and Jian Gong. We appreciate your generosity! essential part of a traditional picnic and classics such as the Savoureux (with French sausage) or the Sesame-Camembert make great country fare. Quiches and pizzas are also easily transported and can be eaten hot or cold. Levillair recommends the Three Cheese or the Mariage de Saveur quiches. She also suggests that you don't take any desserts that will melt or leak. Canele, wonderful French flans or a fruit tart will give a sweet ending to your meal. Take them to some of Shanghai's green spaces and be the envy of all your fellow picnickers. If you are a stickler for a more formal picnic, over at City Shop, you can find a decent range of picnic supplies such as napkins in a range of hues, paper cups and plates and plastic cutlery. City Shop is also a good stop if you want to have a more do-it-yourself picnic with everything from fresh baguettes and cakes at the in-store bakery to cold cuts and a wide range of cheeses in the delicatessen area. Olives, crackers and maybe some dried fruit to eat with the cheese finish the meal off. You can also pick up wine or even a bottle of bubbly for an extra special touch. Need a Good Book? The new Shanghai Centre Resident Lounge West (Suite 815 West Tower) is not only available for group activities, but is also the new home to the Shanghai Centre book collection.

Spring blooms include freesias, which are small and delicate, and China's national flower, the peony – a gorgeous explosion of fuchsia petals. Dutch tulips add a smart dash of colour, while lilies and roses are perennial best sellers. To fill your house with fragrance, freesias are ideal, or for something a bit more quirky, the store also sells rosemary plants which have a very strong scent. Not only does rosemary smell good, but it can also be used in cooking. It's especially delicious with lamb or in tomato-based dishes. In order to make your spring bouquet last longer, the staff at Alice Flowers recommend burning the bottom of the stems, putting the stems in hot water, or using the flower food that they sell in-store. Pop in and fill your home or office with the beauty of spring. Try Tony Roma's for Lunch! West Retail Plaza 109 Craving a restaurant that offers great tasting set lunches at really affordable prices?
