Shanghai Through Other Eyes
When I first started coming to Shanghai, a Shanghainese friend used to tell me that she had never realized that Shanghai was beautiful until she saw it through my eyes. Having lived here all of her life, she just thought it was another big city. Seeing it through other eyes that were less accustomed to the place made it seem so different to her.
One of my friend’s mom is here visiting, and it strikes me that I might have become a little jaded to some of the things that are so fascinating about Shanghai. She’s been recording some of her impressions on her blog, and I’ve had a good time reading that — especially since her purpose in coming here was to be with her daughter during the birth of her first baby. That gives her an experience I’ve certainly never had, seeing Shanghai from the perspective of a delivery room.
Here are some links to the blog she’s been keeping. I think you’ll find the stories of her experiences fun to read.
Loopholes (- make sure and catch this one!)
And one more with baby pictures
Sorry, I know that is 2 posts with lots of links within the past week, but I loved reading both sites, and couldn’t resist.
