Intro

Hello Everybody, Somebody and right now precisely NOBODY. I'm new to the blogging thing and promise not to bore you too much with trivial daily reflections about my mood and desires. Instead this is mainly an attempt at keeping a record of my time here in Shanghai and China as a whole. A place that offers so much to all the senses  is definitely worthy of cogitation, especially as my ability to remember specific moments of interest is fading like a burning incense stick doused in kerosene. Hopefully anyone with an interest in China and/or thinking about the daily ins and outs of a place that is currently the focus of a great deal of international attention, both in the media and by our governments, can get an insight into life in one of the world's greatest and most exciting cities.
