Where do I live?


I have received several requests to show where I have been living, so here it is!

It is a high-rise apartment in Pudong, Shanghai....on the 27th floor.

It is a nice place! Beautiful hardwood floors and fully furnished!

I still think that the best part of the apartment is the free laundry and maid service!


Here is a quick pic of my room....nothing special. This is my communication headquarters! I work on my computer and make my calls from here.

There is a small TV. There are about forty channels, one in English. China Public TV! It is a good thing that I have no free time! The TV does work great for watching and falling asleep to $1 bootleg DVD's that you buy on the street!





There is a nice kitchen here too! Believe it or not, I have been cooking quite a bit! Mostly breakfast: that is the only meal that I can find normal food for in the grocery store! Eggs and toast have kept me somewhat American!




My bathroom (the apartment has two beds and two baths) is my favorite room in the house! It has about twelve different lighting options including heat lamps. It is nice to wake up to in the morning.

I also really like the bathroom because that is where I put my clothes for the maid to wash.....did I mention I love that part!

That is pretty much it for the apartment.

The last few pictures are taken from the balcony of the apartment. As you can see, there are several high-rise apartments right around us. We also have a view of the Huangpu River that splits Pudong from Pushi. Also note the park at the bottom of my building....notice the feng shui...

Wow, looks pretty nice! Did you ever get a pad for your bed? Or are you getting used to it? Finally got a chance to check your blog! Sounds like things are going GREAT for you!!! Hope you get a chance to see some of the sights. I was talking to a friend of mine who was actually in Shang Hai the week before you got there....he goes there about twice a year. I should connect him up with you to let you know what you should see! All for now...I have to get to bed! Love you! Mom
