Right in the thick of it!


Yo!

Well, we've moved. Hopefully never again, well at least for a while. Try ringing for a moving van when you don't know how to say the address of where you are going, or how to say moving van? I managed to get the door guy at our old apartment to help me out and call one. We somehow had HEAPS of stuff. (Adelaidians use 'HEAPS'....ahhh.. heaps.) I would have taken a picture but the camera was packed in somewhere. The whole move was a stealth operation, it didn't have a name then but I'm calling it 'Shanghai suprise'. You see our landlord was showing people around our apartment while I was in the states. Lyndon didn't know what was going on and so apparently quite a few people came walking through. Quite concerning. We suspected that they were going to sell...great! I mean that in a good way cos we wanted to move and if we did, we would break our contract! Well we ended up finding this place in 3 days, and we shipped all our stuff out on a Sunday. The landlord was coming on Monday to collect more rent. :) Come monday, SUPRISE!!!! Bad as it sounds no one was upset about any of it. They were quite ok about it in the end.
So now we are right in the thick of it. Next to a Metro line, walking distance from clubs, restaurants and shopping. Conveniant.

The picture is the view from my room window. The arrow is pointing at a road. Just off to the left is one of Shanghai's main roads. Nan Jing Road.
