my apartment

When I arrived in Shanghai I was so thrilled with my apartment and took pictures to show you how great it was. I've looked at those pictures recently and my apartment is so much better now. So I took new pictures to show you. I actually had problems and some pictures wouldn't upload so there are only a few here. My apartment no longer looks like this since I have already gotten rid of all my plants, given a few other things away and have gathered together things that are going to be shipped. As I prepare to return home I recall my feelings when I was preparing to come here. And although I am happy and anxious to return home there is not the excitement of coming. There is a slight sadness of leaving my friends and the city and all the money of course. And still, Doug and Mike, despite having lived in Shanghai and saying I'm going to miss it, I don't want to live in Toronto. I think it is because Pudong is almost like a suburb so I don't really live in the big city. I can just go over the river to visit it if I want to.
