Day 4 – Dinner and waiting for the girls

By on Sep 6, 2017 in Shanghai, China (2017) | 4 comments

Might as well post now I’m sure once we get into the swing of things we won’t have much to post as the girls will be busy. At City Shop I picked up some bread (but they had no jam or peanut butter) but figured it would give me some bulk for the morning meal. Dinner is some fried rice and mooncakes. Freshly made and still hot, filled with what tasted like...

Day 4 – Visit to the mall

Day 4 – Visit to the mall

By on Sep 6, 2017 in Shanghai, China (2017) | 6 comments

I worked and took the afternoon to try and watch an episode of Enterprise but the internet was not letting me have that. 3hrs later I’m still not done. I took that as a sign to explore the mall, find out where the Pizza Hut is (as Kaatje says, “find us some American food”). I did not find it as the mall was huge but did visit City Shop, a fancyish...

Day 4 – Not the best start…but

By on Sep 6, 2017 in Shanghai, China (2017) | 1 comment

So after that power breakfast, at 9AM all craziness broke loose for the girls. They missed the bus because the assistant did not message them the bus was there until they (ie. the bus) was leaving. This created panic as the girls had to try and hail a taxi which wasn’t easy at rush hour. Around 9:30 I caught up with them to hear that the agency had sent a taxi...

Day 3 – Wrapping up

It was a long day for the girls, they got back at 7PM to their apartment and walked to mine. It was Kaatje’s first visit to see how I will be living. We had to talk a bit, eating some yummy bananas – it was a stressful day with the taxi’s and finding out where to go. Very proud of them, they did great (I know Kaatje you didn’t feel like it,...

Kaelyn and I were both awake at 6AM so we decided to head out and find my apartment. The instructions were pretty good except the “3 minute walk” from the junction was more like 1 minute. We passed right on by. We came back, and managed to get inside. Mom did a great job, Kaelyn is impressed with the bathroom compared to hers. After a quick shower by...

Day 2 -Dinner

We tried to find the local pizza hut but it was 8pm and with Kaelyn having not slept for like 22hrs,we opted for the easy meal. Always a Macdonalds when you need it. But the real excitement is the specific hamburg they offered. Kaatje was so ‘impressed’ – with egg!!! Think I will try it next time.

Well, Kaelyn decided not to sleep the whole flight, but in honesty even with the extra leg room it was hard. Recall the movie ‘Wedding Singer’ where Julia was on the plane at the end and her arm gets slammed by the cart – happened about a dozen times ☺️ Kaatje complied the first two meals, the eggs weren’t their favorite though. Arrived on...
