Me and all my friends

I realised that in my last post I wrote a lot of stuff that you feel like you probably didn't need to be let in on. But the thing is, these weird crazy (scummy) things that exist amongst hyperspeed development, boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, clubs, modern art galleries and spaces, and an incredible public transport system make Shanghai what it is. Take Moganshan Lu below; a small bit of Shanghai tranformed into an art district. Along Moganshan Lu itself the walls are covered in graffiti, and then there are huge complexes like m50 and m97 completely devoted to housing galleries. It's a pretty incredible thing to see just tucked inside Shanghai's inner ring amongst the standard hustle and bustle of the city.

Here are some overdue photos on from when two wonderful boys came to visit me over Christmas and New Years. I lost most of my photos when my iPhone was stolen so these are just from New Years Eve. Thank you for making my first month of pain all the worthwhile!

1. On Yunnan Nan Lu/Ninghai Dong Lu. 2. A busy metro. 3. SNOW! 4. What a standard complex looks like. None of that 'house' rubbish. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Moganshan Lu Art District 10. 11. Inside M50 12. The Wuson River just inside the Inner Ring.

The two photos below were stolen off Facebook. I miss these guys!
Second one is the crew on New Years waiting for the midnight fireworks on the Bund.

I really miss my iPhone hah. Never thought I would say that.
