Travelling home from China

Just spotted these pics on our camera, took them on the way back from Shanghai… cute.

Ivy drawing crowds

Whether due to her porcelain skin, those big round eyes, or China’s One Child Policy, Ivy is drawing crowds, big crowds. We stopped for a while in an area just west of Xintandia to give Ivy some milk, and within a few minutes there were 20 or so locals grinning and clucking to IHT’s great delight (DAT was less delighted, WRT went to take some pics ;-)).

Ivy’s been commanding a fair bit of attention since we arrived here in Shanghai and I’m not entirely sure why. Sure she’s gorgeous, but that doesn’t explain why a crowd forms whenever we stop in the street, or why when we’re on the underground everyone around needs to make eye contact. It can be unsettling, but mostly it’s flattering… There was one your guy taking photographs of Ivy on his Mobile while we were packed in on the tube, can’t say that’s happened before!

Pictures from Shanghai

Having a great time in Shanghai, even though we DSCN2838

are missing Scarlett not being here. Weather has been good with 22 or 23c each day; the haze lifted on Thursday at which point we realised that we had a good view of Pudong from our room… Most of the time we’ve spent walking around (other than when I’ve been working) and as a walking city Shanghai is pretty good.   

Smiles all round…
