Waiting on Baise

After a trip to Decathlon and Carrefor, Aric and I decided to stop and pick up some dinner on Baise Rd. (the street we live on). Aric waited while I picked up my dinner, and then I waited while he got his. I was bored and decided to record a bit of footage. There really isn't anything too...

Obama in Shanghai and Additional Counter Space

Obama came to visit Shanghai today. No, we did not see him, but we have been seeing his face on the front page of the newspapers. He is only spending one day in Shanghai, so we have no hope to see him (that is...if we could even make it through all of the crowds, Obama has a lot of supporters...

Conquering the Convection

I have successfully cooked using our convection oven. Hooray! On Wednesday we had some delicious chicken breasts. My family calls it "White Chicken." The flavoring is parmesan cheese with some dry salad dressing. I just put it on the chicken and then stick it in the oven. Quite tasty! I...

Jade Buddha Temple

Jade Buddha Temple is one of the few Buddhist temple around in Shanghai. The temple is easily identifiable by its bright saffron walls. In the inside, the main attraction is the two-meter-high white jade sitting Buddha encrusted with jewels which weight around 1,000kg. Inside the temple, it...

Recording Job, Fake Market, and Cuisine Festival

Good Morning! We had a long, busy weekend. I feel so tired today. It is a good thing that I don't have class until 11:20 on Mondays. On Friday, Aric and I went to a Korean BBQ place that we'd had our eye on for awhile in Xuijahui. We had to wait quite awhile to get in. I'd like to say that...

Aric's Time

Hello, I just thought you could all use a little Aric Time. Here's what's been going on with me the past few weeks. I'll start with my favorite part, sports. Since the first week of school, a group of us Expat teachers have been playing basketball every Wednesday for a couple of hours....

November...Comes in Like a Lion!

Brrr! Autumn has finally reached us. Halloween was a pretty warm day; I wore shorts and a t-shirt all day at school as a baseball player. Then, about 12:00 AM on Nov. 1st, the wind started picking up, and it started to drizzle. After awhile it really became pretty wicked out! It sounded...

Weather, Charity Fair, and H1N1

Weather: The weather here is still warm. It is actually quite beautiful! However, it hasn't rained for awhile, so the air is getting smoggier by the day. Yech! This morning the air felt heavy, but by the afternoon it seemed to have cleared off. I've heard that Shanghai isn't as bad as...

Brownies!

Mmmmm...Last night we made brownies in our new convection oven. We're still learning the ins and outs of the oven, so the brownies had a shell on top and goo on the bottom. Good thing we both love gooey brownies. We are definitely planning on making them again! Before our yummy dessert, we...
