Hello all, just got back from a delicious lunch at 78 Ichibana Ramen restaurant. Oh so delicious food for a great price. I'm surprise I haven't balloon into a fat lard from all the food that I have been consuming. Oh wait, there is the fact that it's hot like a sauna here all the time, and I have to bike to work on top of the gym...yay for China.
Nothing worthwhile to report. Except that this morning, as I struggle to get up, I realize that it's August already...I'm close to my halfway point in Shanghai...and pretty soon, I will have to go back home...and surprisingly, I don't want to go!!! Shanghai is definitely growing on me. A city of subleties and contrast, all existing at the same time. The more I think about it, I realize that Shanghai/China is where the new market for design will be/should be/is. Everything can be pirated here, but walking along Changle lu or Fuxing Lu, you couldn't help but notice that the seed of design is there, struggling to grow but it's doing pretty good. You can't copy originality and creativity. I don't know, I think if I'm in Shanghai working as a designer, I will have more opportunity for my own creativity than the design saturated western world. Who knows...all I know is that I don't want to go back just yet....
Well off I go to "work" now. Cheers.
