Well.. I've been in Shanghai for a week now! This is going to be a short entry - consider it a test due to the the incredibly SLOW upload speed for the internet here in Chinaland.. I wanted to share some pics of the apartment as we get settled - I'm working on finding furniture but here it is as of today!! If you are wondering what is on the guest bed - it is an 'official' Beijing Olympics stuffed animal. AND - we are in desperate need of a dresser (piles of clothes all over the bedroom) and new curtains for the entire apartment (I am thankful we convinced the complex to give us curtains, but I'm not sure I can get used to the 'foil look' of the lining :). I found the silk rug at an enormous market while shopping for a couch... bargaining with the 15 Chinese words in my vocabulary. Enjoy the pics! I will work on making these updates a bit more exciting :)
