My weblog has been blogged for months in China. I was thinking, they will unblock the blogspot soon, but unfortunately….. It is taking too long, so time to take action! I gave my sister my confidential password and ask her to help me put this online. Hopefully, I can make the people outside of China happy now, because I know you all miss my blogging so much ;)
So many things happened and so many new things to tell. One strange thing happened last weekend in Shanghai. A 13-story building with apartments just keeled over and fell down. Everything was almost finished and it was part of the “lotus riverside” community of 629 apartments and which 489 were already sold. Some people were already living in the other same constructed buildings 20 meters away. But the authorities confirmed that these apartments are safe to live. How can a 13-store apartment building just fall down like that? Authorities are still investigating. Hopefully they will get some good results and make sure it will never happen again. I was thinking to buy a house in Shanghai, but not really sure about it now.
The weather in Shanghai has been changing a lot these days. Yesterday it was nice and cool, today it is warm in the morning and rained like cats and dogs in the afternoon. The “Yangmei” season just started and this means also the rain season began. The season of the plum rains or, misleadingly, intermittent drizzle is a special meteorological phenomenon of the middle and lowland areas of the Yangtze River. Usually, the plum rain season starts in the middle of June and ends in early July which will last for about 20 days. The climate during this season is characterized by continuous rain and hot temperatures. So I guess you all will know how I feel right now; wet and hot!
The weekend I should have time to relax and hopefully the weather will then be less wet and hot ;)
