In the next couple weeks we will be headed back to Shanghai for 5 weeks. We will be staying at the same apartments as last visit only we have a larger unit this time. In exchange for the larger unit we had to give up our 10th floor view - oh well. Now that we know the ropes hopefully we can get into the routine of things a little more quickly. It won't take us a week to find the grocery store (to our standards) and 4 weeks to find where the other expats eat.
I don't know that we will spend so much time travelling this time but we are planning at least one weekend in either Hong Kong or Taipei. we may also take a train ride to one of the neighboring cities over the weekends.
It will be interesting to celebrate Halloween there this year. I have been in China before on Halloween and remember that the celebration was equal to St Patrick's Day in the US with limited decorations and private parties. We have found a couple US and European schools that will have carnivals so we are taking Madeleine's costume with us.
