pictures...set 1: work

Alright, so some pictures from work. One is of Josh's back. He sits right behind me in our little "foreigner cubicle". One is of Jose, he sits right to my right. He's from Spain, some real famous tourist island. He has a daughter here with his wife and she's expecting another one next month. :) He's so nice, doesn't speak fluent english though, but if you speak slowly enough, he understands you. Love him. Then one is of Susanne. She's from a little town in Germany. She's leaving Shanghai for Germany at the end of August. So sad. She's very nice and friendly. She talks to Josh and I alot about everything. I'm slowly trying to influence her with some ridiculous American's celebs gossip which confuses the hell out of her I think.

We don't have emails at work, if you want something, you instant message the person you want. So weird. And since most names are in Chinese, guess who I instant message most days? just Josh. But I do know Susanne and Jose's instant message name though. The four of us are the only one with non-chinese name on the list.

Also a picture of Yan'An road, one of the large main road in Shanghai that's outside of my office. This is the intersection of it that passes beneath the highway ( or as they called it "elevated ring road" here). To say that this area is crowded, hot and smoggy around 5:30 is an understatement. I walk by here if I need to get to the metro line 1.

And for my DDG people, if you look at that picture I took closely, you can see that it's the ad for Vicayze (spelling?) town center that we did. That area is located in Pudong, the otherside of the river. I finally figure out that the Shanghai that everyone lives in is Puxi, west of the river. Pudong is the east side of the river ( like New Jersey) where all the development are and where you can see all the iconic buildings of Shanghai.
