Beijing

I am most thankful for the nobs who believe this is their city. The ones who only have Chinese friends who truly believe they are part of Beijing, who are, in fact, just on an extended working holiday, like me. These lost souls put a smile on my face when I see them in the visa queue, or in the undiscovered hutong bar they found before I did.

Shanghai

I just can't get enough of the beautiful lights on the Bund that lights up the Shanghai skyline. It compensates for all the foggy mornings.
