New Job

So after traveling more on his own, Mike came back and spent a night with me in Shenzhen, before catching his plane out of Hong Kong the next morning. On the bus to 3d bar, the evening's destination, we were complaining about the job market in America. A man accross from us introduced himself and asked what we were doing here. His name is Costa, and he is a Russian expat who lived in New Zealand for 10 years, and now lives in Shenzhen. He moved here to start an online electronics company, and just started it about a year ago along with a chinese business partner. I went out for lunch with him and a couple of his colleagues the next day, and I am now a part-time employee of www.bigboxstore.com. They sell wholesale electronics to countries around the world, mainly the US, and also ship private orders. Today was my first day as their Web Content Author/Editor. I am doing a daily blog about new electronics products, and working on a press release. The job is mainly about using search engine optimization to increase the daily traffic on their website. I will also be working on their newsletter, and fixing their English product descriptions. Check out the site, there is some pretty cool stuff, including mini iPhone knock offs for under $100.
