Your “quaint observations on life abroad” link of the day.  This blog is featured semi-regularly in the Telegraph (which means that I REALLY need to find myself a newspaper sponsor for my own blogging output!), and the author (a Ms. Josephine McDermott) has apparently been living in Shanghai since 2007.  Personally, I would like to hear much more about her experience working “at the Australian pub where they filmed Crocodile Dundee, in a town with 20 people,” but that’s probably just me.  The sad truth is, I’ve come to realize that at this point in my life, small town Aussie life is actually much more exotic to me than Shanghai…  Anyway, check out the link.  Her descriptions of daily life are worth a few minutes of your day…
