To Bite a Turtle...

I've finally seen chinese people practise Tai Chi (at least I think it was) in the streets of Shanghai! Just like in the movies : ) Except these elderly people weren't doing it in the park. They were doing this at seven o'clock in the morning, in front of a huge shopping mall with  western advertising on the building front. Talk about culture clash! A thing to notice is the bamboo-scaffolding in front of the burberry sign. It's just cool to walk by these things and realize, that the chinese construction workers trust their lives with mother natures finest. I keep thinking of the old Dalloon spring roll commercials : )

This morning we had a presentation of Shanghais creative business culture, given by people from the Danish Consulate and a local design company. It was nice getting some insider  info on the industries that we'll be working with.
I had turtle for dinner tonight... Tasted a bit like very tender veal. But it was weird that it was served with head shell and legs. Here I am picking my teeth with it's toe nails. No wonder I have so much spare time to practice my card skills...
By pure coincidence I discovered a very secret room at our homebase. I think it used to be nightclub. It was dark with light shinning in through holes in the walls. I found this weird and scary bust. Scary!
I went to see five possible apartments to move into today. More about that tomorrow.
