What shall I miss about Shanghai?
- The speed at which it has grown/developed, is growing and continues to grow.
- The variety
- The buzz
- The foreigness of it all
- The tai chi outside on the pavement at 7pm in the dark. Neighbours gather to exercise.
- The smiling welcoming faces of the locals
- The many dear friends I have made.
Oh for F@ck’s sake!
- Electric Scooters cutting you up on the pavement
- Spitting
- Coughing over meat by a stallholder in the wet market – several times
- Being sick on the metro
- Picking their noses on the metro
- Taking no notice of green lights at pedestrian crossings
- Cycling the wrong way down streets
- Getting on the metro whilst you are trying to get off
- Walking into you because they have headphones on and are staring at a screen whilst walking
- Emptying their nostrils into public bins
- The way live fish are treated, and turtles and frogs, and birds
- People with expensive cars trying to run you over
- No volume control
- Standing still at the top of an escalator
Am I going to come back? But not with a swear box. It would be too expensive.
Dear Natalie, What an experience though! Have a beautiful spring In Devon and Welcome back to the UK. All my love Ulrika
