Ready for the cruise. Brain is turning off. Let’s go. Some Friday scenes and things… Bike party at the subway station. City beautification in preparation for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Can this stay year-round?? Cruise check list fueled by a green tea latte. With soy milk of course. So delicious. And…. Drumroll please… A … More Day 271: Friday scenes and things
So tomorrow we leave on our cruise to Japan! This is awesome but of course I’ve had a splitting headache all day. Ugh. This means late night packing will be even more painful than usual. Wish me luck. But before I leave here are some photos from Thursday. You know, some typical Chinese fishing in the … More Day 270: Mid-Afternoon Slump
It’s official. I am the least timely blogger ever. Like today I am posting Wednesday’s photo of the day. Today is Saturday. Whomp whomp.

As much as I love … More Day 264: 5 Ways to Detoxify Your City Lifestyle

Let’s see… Wednesday night we had dinner at Hong Mei Lu with some of Peter’s coworkers, ate … More Day 263: Just Some Observations

Take this meal: Miso soup, a small salad, and rice bowl with chicken and egg for 28rmb. This comes to about $4.50 US dollars. Pretty great right? Now if you want … More Day 261: $5 meals and CSA Farms in China
You gotta love technology. It keeps us connected. And you know what? Maybe it keeps us sane (except when people keep posting pictures of pumpkin spice lattes… not fair!) I think technology is helpful in a city like Shanghai because it distracts you from the millions of people around you. This way you can focus … More Day 260: Biking the streets of Shanghai
