Thanks to Shanghaiist, and – later – Shanghai Daily, I learn that the large thunderstorm that I witnessed rolling into Shanghai on Saturday was “reportedly the strongest in over 100 years” to hit Shanghai. It was certainly the darkest, and most ominous that I’ve ever seen hanging over this city. As it happened, at the time it struck, I was at New Heights. Below, a photo of the Bund a few minutes before the rain reduced visibility to twenty meters, at most.
What’s going on here? Last week you post that you’re offline for a month and then this morning I find four new backdated SS posts in my reader along with evidence that you’ve been shopping for ipods and eating at New Heights. New Heights! Either you got a big advance or somebody’s got some ‘splaining to do.
methinks blogging == procrastination. Same for commenting, natch ;>)
joe’s insight is keen.
