Having a grand time really. But let's put some pictures out there for all to see.
Moving into the apartment
Our neighborhood (HongKou district, Shanghai)
Our apartment block - ours is the one on the right - about half way up (19th floor)
View of downtown from our windows/balcony
View of Pudong from The Bund (Andy works in the gold colored round building in the middle right of the picture)
Some of our recent city trips
YuYuan Bazaar in Shanghai old town
YuYuan Gardens (very old ....) :>
Shopping alley in the French Concession
The Bund (Old colonial buildings on Shanghai waterfront)
Confucius Temple, Shanghai
Students hang red ribbons on the trees to ask for good luck in their exams and studies.
Life is good (on the whole) internet/blowing all the fuses in the apartment not withstanding
More details soon. Day off tomorrow - train trip to Suzhou.
