"Shanghai Adventures. . ."

Nice coincidence: last week, our local paper ran a wonderful article by Kristin Bair O’Keeffe, a Pittsburgh native who, 2 years ago, moved to Shanghai with her husband and is now chronicling her experiences in the blog Shanghai Adventures of a Trailing Spouse. Kristin's recent article included descriptions of. . .
-Chinese seniors waltzing outdoors to music from a boom box;
-Shanghai’s impressive Oriental Pearl Tower--and how residents in some of the older sections of the city still use chamber pots at night because buildings lack indoor plumbing; and
-riding down the highway in a taxi driving--backwards! (See blog for details.)

Kristin’s “Shanghai Adventures. . .,” can be viewed in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette or on her website.

We thought you’d like to know about this delightful, personal look at contemporary Chinese culture.

上海探险记

巧事: 上星期我们地方报刊登载了Kristin Bair O'Keeffe写的美好期刊。她出生在匹磁堡,两年前和她丈夫移居到上海。她现在在‘一个随同妻子的探险记’中连续报道她的亲身经历。Kristin的近版的期刊包括以下的细节:

-中国老人用收录机在室外跳华尔恣舞;
-上海的令人檠佩的东方珍珠塔,解释因为老房子缺少管道设备,有些老区居民晚上还用麻桶。
-乘坐的出租车在高速公路上倒行。(细节请看blog)

Kristin的‘上海探险记......‘可在匹磁堡Post-Gazette的报刊上看道或在她的blog上看道。
