sunset in shanghai

i am extremely pleased to be able to get around the great firewall of china!

i want to be able to say that i love living in shanghai, i love living in china. But sometimes, it gets so weary and tiresome. The pollution gets to you, the people annoy you, the whole government gets paranoid on you. Surfing the internet is a pain in the butt when every other page you visit is blocked!

I enjoy reading my friends' blogs and being inspired by some of the bloggers out there. Facebook helps me keep in touch with my family and friends. Youtube enables me to watch music videos and J's favourite fights and football games. Wikipedia helps answer my inane questions. But what can you do if you live in China?

and the absolute last straw came when my ipod got stolen from right under my nose! and this happened approximately about the same time as when 4,565 of my other friends got one thing or other stolen, here in the Shang-of the not-so-high.


So, i think i'm coming to the end of my residence here in china.
i don't think i can handle anymore of it, save the mountains and valleys.
