Sunday.
So why is Shanghai just not doing anything for me this trip?
Is it the HEAT? Geez, it's really awful. And terribly humid.
Or the fact that I have so much going on at home and don't want to be here this trip?
I keep telling myself to just lean into it, enjoy being here on my own for a few weeks, doing my own thing. I am working a lot (we need $$ the next few months!), but all I've done socially is gone out with colleagues a few times and seen some old friends twice. There are other people I could call. But for some reason, I haven't. (None of them read this blog, I think!)
Other than that, I am in this hotel room working (when I'm not in the office).
Mainly I just want to come home and don't want to stay here two more weeks...
This afternoon, we had lunch at Blue Frog in the huge Superbrand Mall in Pudong. That place is a madhouse. And after, we walked over to the SWTFC to have a drink up in their 95th floor (or whatever) bar. Quite a view. Stunning. But hazy. The building just outside the window is the TOP of the Jin Mao (which is an 88 story building!). It feels extremely disorienting to be so close to it and looking DOWN on it.
And a pic of Stefaan. Hilde refused to let me take a picture of her because she was experiencing vertigo up that high. Pish. Wuss.

or maybe work is just busier there and you haven't had time to sink into the culture yet.
great photos, btw.
