It is hard to know where to begin to tell you about living in Shanghai. The city is a sensory crash and I find that after one month, I have already adjusted my sense of “normal” to include things such as bicycle carts piled high with bamboo furniture, or a mountain of toilets, or buckets of flowers. When it rains, 2 or 3 people pile on each bike and scurry along holding umbrellas.

Today is a blue sky day, lan tian (say lawn tee en) in Shanghai, every time I look up, it reminds me that we are all under the same blue sky!
