We've been local the last couple of weeks - walking and enjoying the fabulous fall weather in Shanghai. We found a great spot a few days ago - via metro - where the Yangtze River, Huangpo River and China Sea meet - it was also the spot where the original fishing village of Shanghai was founded, and also, from what we could make out from the Chinese only musuem, the place where the Japanese landed/invaded when they attacked Shanghai before WWII.
This week we're off to Nanjing again - we went there about 6 months ago but didn't see everything we wanted to. This trip (via bullet train!) will be aboput visiting the Purple-Gold Mountain and the Ming dynasty tombs there.
The USA election was big news here - many Chinese people think highly of Obama. We voted via overseas voting - cool! - and of course were particualry excited to see Washington State be one of the historic states to legalize gay marriage by popular vote. Great news.
As our time here starts to wind down, we're making every effort to enjoy the last few weeks left. Planning a few more trip, but nothing really big, and looking forward to seeing friends and family soon.
All, as usual, is good!
