Sick and no laptop
Caught a cold on Saturday night, as I slept in the living room (tout nu) with the windows open. Still trying to get well, but my “dear” colleagues switch the aircon on in the afternoon since the SH weather is heavy, humid and very hot. It has been raining a lot over the last 10days [...]

Misc. pictures
Some miscellaneous pictures I had in my handphone. Not very nice, but was bored.
The glaring yellowish thing on the floor IS snow. Picture taken of the train depot opposite my house.

Snowing now
It’s been very cold in Shanghai lately, and today it snowed a little in the morning, and it is snowing right now. I would have taken a distant shot of the building where trains stop if I had my camera with me, but I left it in Mauritius. There’s a little layer of snow that [...]

Update
Picture taken from 9tour.cn
It’s been a long time since I posted anything. Been busy/lazy/whatever ….
I am now in Shanghai, feeling darn cold. I will spare the rants about Air Mauritius’s lack of Chinese music and movie channels not properly identifiable. There is no HK destination on the list of flights.
I moved into a small apartment, [...]

Can finally have a longer rest
My uncle’s finally gone back home after staying over here for more than a week. Don’t get me wrong. I like having my uncle here, and him staying over at my place is not problem. I gladly gave him my bed and slept on the sofa bed (which is too soft and not very good [...]

Moving to Beijing
I plan to move to Beijing at the end of this week, where I will be spending the next few months taking mandarin courses and looking for a job there. Now, many people have been (more than) a little surprised. If for learning mandarin, why not stay in Shanghai and do it there? I mean, [...]
