Well, I'm going to be pretty boring today because I'm exhausted (maybe it's delayed jet lag?) and want to go to bed soon. Plus, I didn't do very much today except work.
However, I made one very interesting observation today. There are no mosquitoes here despite the crazy humidity that I can't get over. But not only are there no mosquitoes, my colleague has never even heard of them. She thought I was crazy when I asked her about this tiny flying bug that sucks your blood and leaves a bump on your skin that itches like crazy. When she asked what they were and I described mosquitoes, she really thought that I was playing a joke on her.
Oh one other thing...Esteban gave me a really hard time for trying escargot here in Shanghai and never in Montreal where French food is rampant with escargot. I told him that I needed a crazy motivating factor in order to try it. He happened to mention that maybe when we first moved to Montreal that should have been a crazy motivating factor...like when in Rome... But I held out for Shanghai. I wonder if the slugs here taste different than the slugs in France or Montreal. Hmmm...something to ponder...
Lastly, I have yet to see the sun shine in Shanghai. I need to ask my colleague if this is normal because of all of the humidity during the summer. Or if this is a strange phenomenon just because I'm visiting.
