I hope you are all having a good January and recovering from Christmas! Everyone got back into the swing of things straight away here; its been a really good couple of weeks at school and I FINALLY feel a bit more organised! Though I have probably completely jinxed that now!
The first weekend back I went out for my first Shanghai brunch - I can't believe it's taken me 5 months to finally get there! This was a Saturday brunch so it was slightly different, but the champagne was still free flow for 3 1/2 hours...! The rest of the people there weren't taking advantage of that but we were! And as a result...
And that continued on into the evening at various bars around Puxi and then to a Yunan restaurant called Southern Barbarian. We arrived halfway through the food, and were left with mashed potato(?), a tasty aubergine dish and some bugs. Yep, bugs. A choice of crickets, wasps or something else which I can't remember at the moment. However I am sticking with vegetarian January, so I couldn't try the bugs. Shame! After that came salsa dancing. No comment on that needed, haha!
Other highlights so far this month include going to see the Shanghai ballet's performance of Swan Lake. Apologies for the rubbish picture, but it was a lovely thing to see - I haven't seen a ballet before and it was so impressive. It was at the Shanghai Cultural Square in the French Concession which is impressive even by itself.
We wen't for a big breakfast at Glo London today. I have had it recommended by so many people and I wasn't disappointed!
Tasty veggie breakfast!
I am actually enjoying the veggie challenge, wasn't even tempted by the sausages (well maybe a little!)
Anyway, that is all for now!
Speak sooooooooon! Zai jian!
