"I Kina Spiser De Hunde"

We have finally gotten our assignments! This is great news since we're all eager to get started on these projects, after twelve days of settling in here in Shanghai. Our Homebase is also starting to come together quite nicely. Tomorrow I will join the rest of the team and hopefully finish the paint job that was started two days ago. Everything is great, except for the fact that Shanghai is fucking cold this time of the year! As you can see on the picture below, we use electrical heaters... As of now, we only  have two of these..., to heat up all of the Homebase. Yesterday we were all wearing jackets and whatnot to stay warm. Kristian is on the job though, so we'll hopefully be getting more heaters in the beginning of next week : )

While searching for apartments, we ran into this fellow. He had just set up his "shop" in the middle of the sidewalk. No walls... (ok. this is creepy... I'm lying in bed while writing this, and the aircondition just started making spooky noises. It sounds like something from an old B-movie. Like a humming thermine... I'm gonna get me one of those). Sorry. No walls or desks. Just his (seemingly) hand build machine to sharpen peoples knives on. This was so cool. I especially love how the sparks fly off of the blade of the knife.
Haha! This was a really funny sign I came across earlier today. This appeared to be an insurance company of some sort. If this is their standard policy, I'm definitely signing up for it. 
Yesterday I had dinner at a local restaurant and while the waitress was serving us, she noticed that I was looking at a small dog outside the window... "Do you like dogs?", she asked me. Forgetting possibly every rumor I ever heard about chinese cuisine, I said yes... That mistake I'll never do again...

The fish actually has nothing to do with this update. I just felt really sorry for them and at the time they amazed me.  
Signing of I can mention that we finally found an apartment today. Great place very close to Homebase. I'll see if I can find the time, to give you the grand tour tomorrow.

Oh, please check this guy out. Super cool: Raymond Crowe Shadows

As they say in China; "Goodnight".
