Real Estate









Shanghai has been sunny and warm these past weeks so I have been taking a lot of walks trying to learn my neighborhood. Here is a chart with the average temperature and rainfall. Shanghai for the most part seems quite mild, but there is a wetness to the air that makes you chilly to the bone at times.

I have been taking pictures of the various building trying to gain an understanding of what Shanghai looks like. Shanghai is a mish mash of architectural styles as far as I can see. What I do know is that it is rare to have central heating so these buildings are cold. I studied the window at the Century 21 store front trying to figure out the cost of renting or buying an apartment but it was all Chinese to me.

I love the picture with the laundry and the bacon all hanging out to dry!
