I leave May 2nd for Asheville, NC to visit 10 of my former expat friends from when we lived in Shanghai. We are all getting together to reminisce and play mahjong. I'm so jealous you were in beautiful Shanghai.Expats Againhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179740220723589771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-46160165685159007842012-04-14T13:06:13.198-04:002012-04-14T13:06:13.198-04:00Did they really come up and touch your hair???

The skyline is so beautiful and I love that Bottle Opener building. I agree with your last paragraph. I never imagined myself going around Paris and London all by myself. It makes me want to travel a lot more! Of course the language difference was not like yours but certainly not as easy in France and Italy like it was in London.Debby@Just Breathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685398064340027809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-88670274666576812242012-04-12T16:18:00.908-04:002012-04-12T16:18:00.908-04:00My husband has been there SO many times but is a m...My husband has been there SO many times but is a man of few details...this post helped me to understand and share the experience.
