We just had a celebratory weekend, marking both the end of our first month in Shanghai and the first weekend of my hiatus from gainful employment. Friday night we met up with a high school pal of Jerel's (thanks, Facebook!) and his girlfriend Sylvia and introduced them to one of our favourite night spots, Barbarosa. Jerel's co-worker Julie from Belgium, who is also on the global rotations program joined us too (and I suspect will be regularly featured on the blog - in fact, she and her friend Lourdes introduced us to "Slow Sundays"!).
Saturday, Jerel and I had a super-indulgent day including shiatsu massages at Dragonfly, dinner at "M on the Bund", a swanky restaurant with the best view in town, and drinks with a few of the new usual suspects at Glamour Bar.
I think the highlight of the weekend for Jerel was our trip to "Even Better Than Movie World" where we stocked up on DVDs including the 4th season of Lost (anyone want to bet how quickly Jerel burns through it?). We also had great success with our trip to the Fabric Market where Jerel picked up his first tailored shirts which turned out very well (see photos!) at a fraction of the cost we're used to.
