May Holidays…

The exodus
The rush has begun. What they call the biggest migration of people in the world, China’s flight, rail, and road systems are maxed out wherever you go. If you do go somewhere in this country, there will be people. Yes, there will be people everywhere.

This year, I’ll be staying in Shanghai. In my apartment. Where the only person moving is me to the fridge or to relieve myself (though hopefully rested enough to not confuse the two). What are you going to be up to this break?

The picture above was taken 3 years ago when I first came to Shanghai to visit. I decided to do some people watching and went to the Shanghai Railway Station. Nothing quite like watchin’ people waiting for their trains. :) Here’s a quiz: During which holiday are these people traveling on?

Website makeover…

Tonight I finally had the time to migrate my website to Wordpress 2.0.2. Surprisingly painless and everything seems to be working…... If you find any problems, I’d like to hear it…

Over the May holiday, I hope to be able to upgrade the look and feel of it so for you the readers will be easier to read. I’m hoping to change the font to something more pleasing to the eye, and possibly go for a 3 column look. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please let know!
