Room With a View







Hellooo everyone! Today was a gorgeous day in Shanghai with absolutely stunning weather. Around five PM, the sun began to tuck behind the skyline, which cast a gorgeous golden light over the city. I didn't rush home because I wanted to soak in all of the sunny yumminess (there were even BLUE SKIES AND PUFFY WHITE CLOUDS!), so by the time I strolled home what you see is what was left of the day. I didn't quite capture the calming essence of the evening, but at least I can give you a good sense of the view from my living room & balcony.

The other pictures I have included are of my bedroom. A sneak-peak into where I pass out exhausted each evening. All of the furniture is from IKEA (see post). Last Friday the furniture was finally delivered to our apartment, so we turned the evening/afternoon into a happy-hour/assemble-the-furniture festival! Beer and furniture assembly, for me at least, did not combine well. I had to assemble the tall bookcase three different times until I finally got it right! Oh well, live and learn...

Tonight, while Logan tries out for a soccer league, Sims, Zack and I are going to watch a movie and chill out on the couch. I am in much need of some rest. Work has been crazy lately....I have been on pins and needles trying to please Mr. Kamen. And, the three hours of commuting each day is beginning to take a toll on my spirits. (My day is essentially seven am to seven pm). But, it is hard not to smile and feel great when the sun comes out!

Tomorrow I meet with the Chief of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to recruit them to join our Intellectual Property Seminar. I'll update soon on the progress of work.
