Soccer Day

It has been a crazy week.
Yesterday the skies cleared up and the sun was out.  Had a meeting downtown and had a nice view of the tallest towers in China.

After school we went out for a nice birthday dinner at Grant's favorite place, Din Tai Fung.  We even brought our own homemade mini cake.  He must be getting older, it was hard to blow out those fancy sparkling candles.

Today is Soccer Day.  The skies are clear, the air pollution is way down and there is a nice breeze here on the Pudong campus.  The boys are ready to play, I think.

When the school is half full

Long story short...
There is a huge safety summit happening in Shanghai today and tomorrow and there are many traffic restrictions and road closures.  We have school today but no buses so students had to get here on their own.  Currently the Pudong campus is about 50% full.  Grant's class had about five kids in it and Kelly had three.
So what else is there to do but go out and play.

Good times on the zip line.

No school tomorrow.  Yeah!!!!

Bugs and fishes

Tried to post a while ago and wouldn't work. We will try again.

Last day of the spring vacation and we headed off to the bug market. Why???? Why not. Sounded like a cool place to go. Turns out is was across the street from the Dongtai Lu antique market. The market had all sorts of cool old stuff.


After the antiques we made it to the bug market. Have your choice of turtles. Too small to eat but perfect for aquariums and ponds.


Or crickets for your fighting cricket tournament. All of these little guys were moving around to impress perspective new owners. You too could own one for 35RMB, about $5.



It was a good afternoon and nice to see a new part of Shanghai. We will definitely go back.
