Around the Bund

China and I have been getting along nicely. Beautiful day today here, first day I have woken up to blue sky and sun! Yesterday was a day filled with yummy food, date night, and a brief walk along the infamous Bund! Tall buildings with screens down the whole side. Sparkling lights and a row of European buildings on the other side of the river staring down the young flashy buildings probably wondering what happened to the good ole' days. 

Tomorrow I head DOWN UNDER! First time over the Equator. I'm just a little excited. :) 

First photo: from Patrick's office window. Guess how many roads? :) Triple Decker!

Yummy Lunch!

The Bund at night!

Hello from China! It's Saturday afternoon here (fyi it is a 13 hour time difference from IL you guys are behind) and so far Saturday is foggy and cloudy. The last couple of days have been wonderfully low key. Ann, my apartment host, has been gracious and patient and my room has a great huge bed! Patrick was absolutely stunned which was great. (here is a video in case you missed it: http://youtu.be/gNXBDpggvQ4) Thanks to everyone for keeping the secret with me. He was happy and still is a happy boy. Jet lag hasn't been too bad, thankfully with not much to do I have been able to sleep in and rest and try to not get sick! Some fun pictures:

 More to come! xo
