Out of Towners

My parents had some friends visiting Shanghai from Philly so after a brief stop at Jin Mao Tower, we took them out to dinner in Tian Zi Fang. Being around tourists really makes you see a city through their eyes. They had a million questions about things I've come to take for granted about life here. They wanted to know how people here view the world. They were amazed by basic things like where all the people come from and what sort of jobs they have.



I can't believe we have only been in Shanghai for 3 months. Several people have said to me now that time just moves more slowly here. It seems like so much has happened for it to be such a short time.
