2nd interview in 10 hours... eep!
(I think I'm quite smart for - as far as I know - coining that term... "addit." Anyway.)
Just logged on to the Discovery Travel and Living forums that were
seeking applicants for season 3 of "5 Takes", only to find that a lot
of people had already received call-backs well before the deadline of
July 31, and that their 2nd round blog and vlog deadlines were set at
July 31 as well. Given this information, it seems fair to
conclude that my submission, dated July 30th, did not make 2nd
round. Weep.
Ahh well, on with the job search, then...PS - Thanks, Cat, for the awesome haircut. B) I think I look rockin'!!
</addit>It's been quite a while since I last updated, yet I still see a few
footprints once in a while. For those of you who bother, sorry!
Anyway, Cat and I have been in 上海 for a full 2 weeks now, and things
have been, on the whole, pretty good. My job search is moving
along (even if I may end up doing something I probably won't enjoy) and
the apartment search has gone very well. Now, all I need to do is
actually start work, move into the apartment w/ Cat, adopt a (cat-)
cat, and then I'll be set for the next year or two!So, without further ado, here are a very few photos.
After a 24 1/2 hour train ride, Cat and I enter the country! The
immigration process was smooth, and the only problems I'd say we
encountered were 1) almost missing the train from HK (we were the last
ones on!!), and 2) Cat almost getting stranded on the train after we
arrived in SH (they usher everyone off really, really fast!!).
Not bad considering the number of things that could have gone wrong in
24 hours. (Just ask Jack Bauer and his team! ...Is that even his
name?) | The longer I'm in Shanghai, the more mainland
chinese I become... clipping my nails as we walk from one apartment
viewing to the subway station.
Who
other than Jo, with his girlfriend, Serena. Thanks you two, for
being so helpful and such great chums in our first weeks in SH!!
We really appreciate it.
| This one is a little small
and blurry, but you might just make me and Cat out among the 1930's
local Shanghainese, me sipping a starbucks and Cat waving hi, as we
line up to get on the trolley/tram. These things are reminiscent
of modern day HK trams. Hmmm...
Cat and I are the raison d'etre for these nutrition bars. w3rd.

You're not truly mainland chinese until you do the thumb-on-one-nostril nose blowing trick out the window of a moving car. Good luck with everything, you guys.
neat pics. great to hear things are going pretty well over there. take care and have fun! peace out...
It's not actually a fisheye lens, it's just some double sided tape and a $10 narrow-angle peep hole from home depot. The dori pic is taken at the Walt James Stadium oval at Willow Springs, and hopefully I'll get to drive the Horse Thief Mile (touge track) sometime in the near future. Fun stuff, but very noticibly not as fun without you. Poo-hoo.
