Hello

We have arrived. Shanghai. A city of 22 million people and more buildings than one could fathom. We have now been in the city for 3 weeks. I still feel like I am in a time warp. Just last week I figured out what day it was without looking at a calendar. This week I can actually guess what time it is with some amount of accuracy. It has been a long journey to this point, and now that we are here, a new phase begins. It is an exciting time and place for us. Phil and I have done a great deal in this city already, and there is so much more to see. We hope this blog will allow you to take part of this journey with us. This will be a place where we share stories about what it is like to live, work, and function in Shanghai- all of the details, some interesting (I hope) and some of it probably even boring. But all of it will be an honest representation of our total experience here in China. Thanks for your interest and patience as I get this set up with pictures and stories.
