Chris....beautiful pictures! Cousin Bob said you got 5 inches of snow? He said it's the most Shanghai has gotten in 17 years!!

I had a random question that your early morning shot brought to mind. Do people go for runs in China? No, I dont mean to the beer store, but jogging and have you been jogging at all?

Chris. Graffiti, Bike riders....Fish Markets... Construction sites...Large Creek( almost the size of a River....If you close your eyes you may think you are in Philly....China Town in Philadelphia would make the people from Shanghai feel right at home...Do they sell the little turtles at the markets? Philadelphia China town has them. I had one...died ..after that no more turtles for me....Love.Aunt Eileen

I am a traveler and a student of life - always have been, always will be. A week or two in a foreign place was never enough though. It was just a tease. I moved to China in November 2007 in order to have fun and learn a very foreign culture. I am back in Philly now, but this site is an attempt to capture some of my experiences in an entertaining manner.
