Some edge

We have had all four of our ears lowered recently. Natalie even got a fringe! OOoooo... There were some slight dramas and miscommunications (I think I was instructing Nat's stylist to "please cut her head shorter with some edge"), but it all worked out in the end.


Ok, ok, so we haven't been up that Pearl Tower thingo yet. But we did check out the tomb of Xu Guangqi, local Catholic legend. Click the image below to see a few more pictures of the surrounding park.


Thanks to dear Cass for providing us with a huge box of Easter goodies. Do you think we can last another two weeks...? Shanghai's oldest cathedral is just around the corner, so perhaps we'll get right into the spirit of it and check out the local mass.


Natalie took the camera to work and took a few shots of the school.


Pu Ming Primary is a relatively new school in the outer urban district on the eastern bank of Shanghai's Huangpu river. In the 1980's, it was a marshy bog that supplied the city's wet markets with fresh veg. 15 years and billions of yuan later, BAM - "Pu Dong New Area" had appeared. It's hard to capture the soullessness properly within little snaps, so you'll have to wait until your postcards arrive...
