'A Day In The Life'

The days are dwindling...

I have calculated that I only have 19 days left here in this great city. [[ Yes, Kelly, we're in the teens now ;-) ]] My time spent here has been incredible, and I'm going to miss it. I'll make a post in the next couple weeks about what I will miss and not miss more specifically :-) I also only have 7 total days left of weekday work time. Wow, that seems like an incredibly low number of days, but after taking my upcoming trips to Beijing and Korea into consideration, that's what's leftover. I will likely be working some weekends and late nights to try to finish up as many 3 Dumplings projects as possible, so that I can leave here with peace of mind that things will continue smoothly from where I left them.

---------------------------------

A local Shanghai entertainment magazine called CITY WEEKEND (the one that had those restaurant awards a few weeks ago) wants to do a story on me for their August issue of the magazine :-) It's for their "Day in the Life" section, where they choose a person from the city and describe their daily activities for everyone to enjoy. Here are some examples that they did for their website: The Savior of Shanghai Rock, The International Socialite, and others here. The article about me will be published in their magazine, similar to the example below (sorry about the poor quality of the image, I can't make it any larger)...

I'm not sure what they're going to title it, but it's pretty interesting that they chose me of all people in Shanghai to pick from. Not sure why, but I'm cool with it!!

I'll try to post a layout of my average day sometime tomorrow. For now, I'm heading off to bed :-)

---------------------------------

Paul, Ibbi, and I are heading off to Beijing tomorrow evening - an overnight train ride to China's capital. I'm serious this time, we're actually going to get onto a train and leave Shanghai, not like last week's goof up.
