Shanghai Old Town
  Today I visited Shanghai's "Old Town" for some sightseeing and shopping.  I bartered for gifts for my friends and family (and myself), visited a Buddhist temple, and saw some breathtaking views.  I also had a man spit on my toe and another one step on......Read More

If you miss my smilin' face...
I was told my pics are nice but that I should be in some. I agree, but it's hard to take a pic with myself in it when I'm by myself!  So if you miss my smilin' face, this is the best I can do for you... Me with my fake Franck Muller watch and my super big bug sunglasses that make me......Read More

Visit to a Taoist temple
Yesterday during my lunch break I visited the Taoist temple that is literally right outside our office building. I wish I knew more about the Taoist religion before I visited the temple because no one spoke any English and everything was written in Chinese, so I couldn't ask any of the......Read More

Earthquake!
There was an earthquake today in China!  Don't worry everyone, I am okay. (I know you were really worried!) The only reason I knew there was a quake, actually, was because in the afternoon there was a large group of people gathered outside the building. We are only on the 3rd......Read More

Fake watches, they've found me!
So today I decided to check out the fake watches and handbags that people on the street here are always trying to get you to buy. It was so shady, them leading me into a backroom off the street, up narrow steps into a room filled with prada and coach and louis vuitton bags and rolex and omega......Read More

A comment from a friend for your consideration...

Ni hao!
I've made it through my first and second day of work at SBB Shanghai. The office is a 15-min taxi ride away from my hotel, or about a 45-60min walk, as I found out last night. The taxi ride costs a little less than US$2 so that's nice for the mornings, and it's been nice out at night so I can......Read More

A lovely walk on a rainy day
It's been a rainy, gloomy day here in Shanghai. I woke up around seven, couldn't sleep any longer. It gets light here so early! Like before six a.m. I want to say. It also gets dark really early too, between six and seven I think. I went walking around in the rain today with......Read More

Welcome to Shanghai
I have arrived in Shanghai. This has been a surreal experience thus far! I didn't start to panic until I was walking onto the plane to go to Shanghai. Then it hit me! So I had 14 hours to panic, it was great. Ok, so I didn't panic, just had a lot of time to reflect and think. It......Read More
