One Month in China

It doesn't quite feel all that long even though we've already established a few favorite restaurants and a bit of a routine around here. Last night we celebrated our first month with a short cruise down the Huang Po river through Shanghai. Well, it wasn't really in celebration, but it was a nice chance for a bunch of us new teachers to get together and act like tourists while we still can.

Here's Kim with some friends. In front, our friend and colleague Misao who works with me in the tech department. The woman on the right, we met on the boat - coincidentally, she is moving to Astoria (!) to go to F.I.T. (Kim's Alma Matter!) next week. Small world.

Afterwards, we headed out to get a late dinner. Impressively, we managed to find the one Chinese restaurant in all of Shanghai that was out of rice. After much deliberating with the waitress and amongst ourselves, it was decided that we would go next door and get some take-out rice to bring back. I think we ended up with two confused sets of restaurants staffs, but we got to enjoy our dinner in the end.
