Thursday, October 18th Sorry for the weird title. I swear it is relevant to the two pictures from this day. First, a typical scene in China: It is amazing the amount of stuff people can stack on these motorbikes. It’s like a real life version of Tetris. Also, please note that at this time in … More Day 291: Tetris and Long Fingers
Happy Monday! I spent the weekend away from my computer and focused on Crossfit and busting out Season 1 of Downton Abbey. Yeah, it was a good weekend. And guess what? Fall weather has officially arrived in Shanghai!! It has been cold and sunny and I am so happy in my sweaters and scarves. Though … More Day 290: Yuyuan Commodity Markets
Tuesday, October 16th China has some interesting architecture. Of course Shanghai has its share of ritzy modern architecture with plenty of bright lights. But then there are the older concrete buildings that can be either depressing or surprisingly beautiful. This my favorite stretch of apartment buildings in Shanghai. They are old, pink, and textured. Love … More Day 289: Bring It Back
Monday, October 15th Oh look at this pretty sky. I wish it was still this clear in Shanghai! Instead a cold front is keeping the pollution thick and stagnant in the city. Although the air is gross, it is finally cold outside! I’m wearing sweaters withs scarves and loving it. It would be nice to … More Day 288: China Fall
Saturday, October 13th This day our group from the cruise had a BBQ at Pete and Lisa’s apartment.

Since I am so far behind on the Photo of the Day I might start posting one catch up photos with the current one each day. Hopefully it won’t get too confusing. Yikes. Bear with me! Friday, October 12th Sometimes China makes me crazy. Whether it’s some guy stubbornly blocking my way on the subway … More Day 285: Dealing with the Absurd
Thursday, October 11th Some scenes of the day. Obviously it involved some coffee and a lot of work. That is my kind of day! How is it Monday already? And how is it almost November already?? Wow.
Wednesday, October 10th On the cruise we met an American family who has lived in Shanghai for several years. The wife mentioned that she is a member of the American Women’s Group in Shanghai and encouraged me to attend their events. Fate would have it that their monthly meet and greet took place just a … More Day 283: Coffee, Kimchi, and Healthy Digestion
I hope you enjoyed my life in China update. Taking an unexpected week off blogging has been both good and bad. Bad because blogging gives me a chance to reflect on my experiences and helps me move forward with purpose. Good because it forced me to focus on building my business and connecting with people. It … More Day 282: My Health Coaching Journey- Halfway Thoughts
I’m back! Finally! Sorry for the crazy long hiatus. Exactly one week ago our VPN crapped out. This meant no Youtube, no Google, no Twitter, no Hulu, no Facebook (not that I am on FB anyways), and no WordPress! Gasp! China blocks such essential websites. It took a week to get the VPN back online and … More Day 281: Life in China Update and Catching Up
