Sweat sweat and sweat... Is it autum yet?

Well the first week in Shanghai has been great. I really like this city. The training is long but its all part of the job. I think im gona like it! Since it is the weekend..inam relaxing and treatibg myself to foot massage, shopping at gap and lunch. Its relaxing and i love exploring the city. I walk everywhere so foot massages are necessary.

The big news of the day is that i signed the contract for an amazing apartment! It worked out well!! At first i was worried. My friend and i (a fellow teacher) couldnt decide where to live or get roommates...we work on the other side river in pudong but puxi is where its happening...

Well i had previously seen one apartment and wasnt sure so i contacted another realtor and i invited the roomie (vanna)... Well i set up appointment and the realtor thought i cancelled but i didnt. It was her mistake. She also didnt know where the compound was..but we decided to be patient and see it. Well we were worried because the area outside the station wasnt beautiful..but thats normal in some cases... So we walk walk cab cab...it turned out she had just got out of college and was working on a new sale and her colleague wasnt saying much. He wanted her to handle it...

Well finally we get there and its a compound of like 6 high rises and hotels and security etc. fabric markets were everywhere!!! Yay me


So we go in and are amazed ..we talk ws walk around we talked... We negotiated and it was ours lol... There was a disney sign..there were some play mats left in the windo area of one of the rooms...it was a sign... Needless to say..we signed today and move in in 10 days..its pretty sweet...

Two bed plus office ..kitchen.. dish washer ..washer.. 2 balconies ...fitness center w pool and classes (1500rmb/year) 28fl cenntral air ..security ..two apts per floor in the bund ...its grrrrrrreeeeeattt
