It worked!!! For days I’ve been trying to figure out how to get full-sized photos from my computer to Peter’s laptop. Turns out I was emailing them as “small” instead of “actual size”. Dear me that was frustrating. You have no idea how badly I’ve wanted to blog this week. Shanghai is crazy cool and … More Day 256: Into the Vortex

Well first I had an job interview with a gym for a personal trainer position which went extremely well and then I went grocery shopping. Jenny was kind enough to take me to my interview and … More Shanghai: Meat, Butchers, and Fitness in China

So we did some research online, picked a nearby … More Shanghai: Americans eating German food in the French Concession
