Good friends from Nottingham, UK, Ronaldo and Ann, were visiting us here in Ningbo whilst on their holiday in Shanghai. Ronaldo and I used to work together for the Precision Manufacturing Centre at the University of Nottingham (http://www.precisionmanufacturing.co.uk) whereas Ann is working on fuel cells in the Chemical Engineering Division in Nottingham.

They arrived yesterday afternoon and I brought them along to say hello to some familiar faces from the UK now working here at UNNC. In addition, we visited the Engineering department and talked about old and new research ideas. Then we went out for a nice Szechuan style restaurant (i.e. very hot food- even for Chinese, as I learned on a few occasions by now), before finishing the evening with some more catching up at home. Today we headed to town for sightseeing, the oldest private library in China, Tianyi square, little street markets and similar, before saying goodbye later in the afternoon.
