Japanese Companies/Brands in China

During my (short) trip I have noticed that there is noticeable presence of Japanese companies in China:

First Visit to Mainland China

Seems almost impossible, but today I will start my first trip to Mainland China. Have previously been to Hong Kong (twice) and Macao (once), but I am sure this is going to be a different experience.

My trip is to Nanjing (Nankin), in Chinese Characters it is 南京 , which means the southern Capital, which it was in the past. Since there are no daily direct flights to Nanjing, I’d have to connect through Shanghai (on my way) and Beijing (coming back), which makes the trip very long.

My twitter account (@telyas) is the best way to follow my updates and quick pictures I am taking with the blackberry, but I will do my best to update this Blog as well.
