ANOTHER FOOD POST.

My sister arrived in Shanghai on Sunday. We went straight out to have awesome sushi dinner at Haiku by Hatsune.




Made a stop at Citizen for basil drop martinis (and sis is now officially a fan!)


We went to Jia Jia Tang Bao for lunch today. 3 steamers, 36 dumplings (shrimp, pork, chicken) and duck blood soup for 30 RMB. Christ. Lunch for three people = 30 RMB? I like it. And I'll miss it! :-(




Had dinner, tonight, with the fam @ Shangri-la, buffet time again..




My sis and I attacked the desserts.





I'm full.

Tomorrow I need to get up at 5am cause we're going to K-K-K-KOREA! Haven't been there since 2000. So excited!

WO AI SHANGHAI.

I love this city and the people in it.

MOVING ON.

My new home, as of the 17th of May, 2010.
Not this particular building obviously, but this city! Do you recognize it?



HEY AJ!

This is for my friend AJ. He's really American.

NOM.

One of my all-time favorite Chinese appetizers/desserts (can be served as both):

Lotus root stuffed with glutinous rice in honey syrup

 

I don't remember how much we paid for a whole lotus root. 10 kuai? 18? CHEAPO.


I...

...feel nervous. 2 hours to go.
Keep your fingers crossed for me, okay?

THE ORANGE BOX.

I got another present from the people my dad work with and this time they did very well!
Hello Orange Box containing a Hermès scarf <3


THE VIEW FROM THE 18TH FLOOR.

We moved to a new apartment last Sunday. It's in the building right next to the old apartment (still Fraser Suites), so we didn't have to go very far. This apartment is on the 18th floor, old one was 27th, so that kind of sucks. This apartment is brand new and more spacious though, so it makes up for it. I just have to say I hate dark wood and the color of the living room sofa, but it's okay. I'll survive.

Next time I'll record a video and show you what happens when you enter the master bathroom. First time I went in, I screamed (out of fear). You'll never guess why!

CONTRASTS.

From Ljusterö/Sweden to Shanghai/China.

Yes, first barbecue of the year - note the snow in the background.

 

Nothing beats Shanghai at night.

AIRPLANE FOOD AND RECLINERS.

I've consumed a shitload of airplane food these past weeks. And honestly it wasn't that bad. Some of it was actually... good? Crazy, I know. Except for the meal in the last pic though. A meal I got served from Beijing - Shanghai with Air China. Pretty much looks like microwaved noodles with a disgusting chocolate cake to go with it... So remember, SAS is quality!

 

 

Thought I'd upload some pictures of the veeeery spacious seats I got to experience in first and business class. It's been ages since I got to fly first/business, last time I did I was probably 10 or so... and I've always loved flying so I was pretty stoked. Haha.

Anyway - I would almost say it was worth it, just to be able to sleep well. I slept like a baby on all flights due to the simple fact that I could lie down. There was drool everywhere.

 

Hi leg space.


BASIL.

I'm so happy! I had.. not only one, but two basil drop martinis tonight.

MISSED YOU!

SIGNS.

I wonder how often this happens ^

LOVELY.



COLD.

But at least we have blue skies. You'll never see this shade of blue in Shanghai.
