We finally tried one of the fish “restaurants” at Fuxin East road. Three types of fish, clams and crab (tried neither bullfrog nor snake). Food is fresh as can be and extremely tasty. Not cheap but well worth it. Continue reading “Fish no chips”

Some impressions from a short walk, today.
Tailor made
After just another very long week (some work looming on the weekend, again), we decided to spent a relaxed weekend at home.
We kicked off Friday night with Michis friend Jana at Yongkang Lu, Shanghai’s infamous expat bar street (check the beer prices before ordering. You ca easily pay 10€ for a tap beer…). Continue reading “Tailor made”

Weather in Wuhan
I was lucky, this time. One day before I arrived, temperatures dropped from over 40C to 25C. So I may live another day. Interesting fact: if you ask nicely, you may bring your own drinks to the restaurant.
Today I am back in Shanghai. Have to get up way to early (7:00). Michi just landed in PVG. So this will be a great day!
