Welcome Me Back!
I am back but I am still not in the “blogging all day” mode. This is just a quick post to let MyPinkNotes.com readers that I am alive and I have so much to tell.
My “coming back” doesn’t mean Ruthi is going away so there’s no need for Ruthi’s fans to worry because you’ll get more of her here.
So anyway, I am now in Shanghai! My husband and I got here at around 5pm on July 1st and I cannot believe how hot it is in this city. Shanghai’s temperature is very different from that of Changchun even if these two cities are only 2 hours by plane away from each other. Also, I am amazed by the fact that a lot of people living in Shanghai can speak English. That makes it way cooler to live here than in Changchun. Somebody once mentioned that living in Shanghai is just a small upgrade from living in Changchun but I think that is underestimating Shanghai. Shanghai is more international and there are a lot of things to do here. Here in Shanghai you can find almost everything except maybe a gulp of clean air. Haha. Anyway, I am excited about living in and experiencing Shanghai. Actually, I’ve been here last year but only for a short time. And because Shanghai is just a few hours away from Manila, I am cool with the fact that my husband got a contract to work here for two years.
Okay, sorry to cut this short but it’s time for me to exit Starbucks and turn off my computer but don’t worry because I have two whole years to live here so you can be sure to read more about this city and about me in it.
Ciao for now!
[…] We got here in Shanghai on June 30. When we finally arrived at our hotel, the first thing I searched for is an internet connection. I was itching to blog but I needed an internet connection for something which is more important like looking for a flat and sure enough, the 102 Euro per night hotel has internet connection but they charge an incredible amount of 0.10 Euro per minute or a maximum of 8 Euro per day. Though I know that it’s Marcus’ company handling our hotel bills, it just didn’t feel right. I mean, I wouldn’t want to spend that much for a 24 hour internet connection and although I will not be the one to pay it, I will not give in to any of these over priced hotels. No no. […]
[…] We got here about a month ago and it we moved in to a few flat just recently. I got busy with unpacking our things, finding a school for me to continue my German course, and other stuff. I am actually STILL busy and I don’t think there is going to be a slow down soon. […]
