Kyle and I headed up to the roof top deck to enjoy the sunny 19 degree weather (everything here is in Celsius - 66 degrees F to us). I took a few photos with my new camera - wow- this is going to be a fun hobby to master! It is usually pretty smoggy here in Shanghai, but today it is pretty amazing. This is Claudine's (my favorite neighbor and shopping partner) house.
In the far background of this photo you can see the World Financial Center building. It looks like a bottle opener. In 2008 it was named the world's "Best Tall Building" by the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. Cool. The building just to the right of this is Mark's Office in the Jin Mao tower.
The yellow bell tower to the right is at the middle of the compound. There is a great grassy area and a fountain where the kids play soccer or ride their bikes.
I put this one in to show the street signs - hence why we have a driver. All in Chinese and to us all the roads sound like Long Duck Dong Rd? The roads that surround our house - Mingyue Rd, JinXiu Rd., HeiSong Rd. and Bai Hua Rd. Where is Main St.?
