The sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Hey everyone! Things are great here at the moment! We have been so much fun stuff lately since Issy's sister is here, so we have to show her what Shanghai's all about! We have been out to Bar Rouge till 5am, and tailored blazer jackets (so excited for the end result). Pauline says that she actually doesn't want to shop anymore, that's she's all shopped out. But unfortunatley me and Issy have still had to study this week for our midterms, but it's the last day of exams tomorrow then we can enjoy the weekend.
Issy and Pauline are off to Beijing over the weekend to do some sightseeing so I'm home alone, although there's so much going on and so many BBQs and parties here. It's also the Royal wedding tomorrow back in Blighty (which I am MEGA excited about and so sad to be missing!) so I think a few of us are gonna head down to the Irish Pub O'Malleys to watch it. I love how whatever country you go to in the world there's always some Irish there, in a pub.
The weather is getting so nice here now, it's just perfect. Except we had crazy thunder storms and lightning the other night which was pretty loud and lit up the city.
The yummy easter eggs Pauline brought us from Sweden!
Having BBQ and beer outside
On Saturday, we spent a beautiful day in People's Park. They have a Matchmaking market too which we thought would be so interesting to see. It's basically just everyones parents trying to marry them off. Most of them are born around the late 70's or early 80's. It was so interesting to see all the parents chatting, to me it just seemed like one big mothers meeting! Everyone's comparing photos of the eligible bachelors and bacheloretes, and there were just hundreds of signs. The actual marriage candidates aren't even there. The posters mostly include date of birth, height, salary + job, and what they're looking for in a partner, including height, age and all that. We got a lot of interest and some men obviously trying to set us up, the three western girls were very popular...
The adverts with information of potential partners
Chilling in the park
A woman showing another a picture of her son.
All the women available!
Beautiful people's park
Pauline at the tailors
So apart from all the going out and matchmaking, Pauline bought a new camera which has an amazing fish eye function. So we've been killing ourselves laughing all day at these legendary photos :D
I'm sure we'll be producing way more of these soon...
xXXx
Just one more thing...
hehe
