Nostalgia & Flies

I haven't been posting to this site for a long while. The funny is that when it's time to for my bosses to decide whether I'm going to stay in Shanghai or go back to Singapore again, I suddenly felt a strong pang of nostalgia and a sinking feeling that I will miss this place greatly.

So... I am going to start again.

From today, I will reminisce the things that we had in the house that helped us tide us through the last summer.

The fly swat and the moth that we caught

Shanghai Olympics

I had to join in one of the games since I am in China right?
So I did.

2008.8.12
Women's soccer, Japan vs Norway.














No prize for guessing which team I supported and who won ultimately.

Olympics English

While they were taking steps to clean up the English signboards and roadsigns, they forgot about the ridiculous menus in the many restaurants we have! Here's what I found again and bothered to take pics on ...

Try telling me what drink is 20013 and 20014?




















What about 20002, 20003 and 20005?


















Finale, what's 19013?

Airplane Gimmicks

Funny... they actually do lucky scratch high up in the sky!

Here you go. My lucky... or not so lucky ticket.

For those of you who can read Chinese, the instructions are all here.

For the un-inducted, basically, you scratch the area on the bottom right with a coin and if your mahjong pic matches the pics on the left, you win!

I obviously didn't.

UFO

We found this UFO Spaceship looking thingy near our house. Cool isn't it?
