My Shanghai Romance: Haikui - bu keyi
http://myshanghairomance.blogspot.com/2012/08/haikui-bu-keyi.html
Torsdag 9 augusti 2012. Haikui - bu keyi. Yup, yesterday we were hit by a typhoon. The typhoon Haikui. I have never seen anything like it before. At 11.30 yesterday the government issued red alert, the highest on the four-grade scale, and ordered companies to send their staff home and everyone to stay inside. Which we did. It was dripping heavily from the roof and also pouring down from somewhere along the windows, not sure where. They look, point some more, discuss and leave. Five minutes later the ...

My Shanghai Romance: Oh the joys of bureaucracy
http://myshanghairomance.blogspot.com/2012/08/oh-joys-of-bureaucracy.html
Onsdag 15 augusti 2012. Oh the joys of bureaucracy. My never ending process of getting a Chinese working permit is at last beginning to see its final phase I think. Today I went to the police station to register my new address (something you always have to do if you are staying more than 24 hours in China) and w. Ise from experience I of course expected lots of trouble doing this. He took my stuff, made some copies, stamped some papers and then handed me the valuable document and said "all done". I live ...

My Shanghai Romance: december 2011
http://myshanghairomance.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Onsdag 14 december 2011. Notera Angry birden. Sjukt hur stort det har blivit). Vad är det vi skymtar där ovanför mjölken om inte Kalles Kaviar? Synd att jag hatar't, men grymt för alla andra. Så skynda att fynda nu, svennar i Shanghai. Tisdag 13 december 2011. Som utlovat kommer här en update från Singapore, där vi var förrförra helgen. Men jag höll mig i skinnet och började med att dra till Raffles för att dricka en Singapore Sling och bocka av det från listan "mega-turistiga grejer att göra i världen".

My Shanghai Romance: Dancing (barefoot) in the rain
http://myshanghairomance.blogspot.com/2012/08/dancing-barefoot-in-rain.html
Måndag 20 augusti 2012. Dancing (barefoot) in the rain. Not wanting to get completely soaked we stayed in the restaurant, chatted about stuff, watched Japanese cartoons on Tina's phone, took a nap (yep, never felt so Chinese in my entire life), Facebooked, ate some more and drank tea to wait it out. Didn't stop though, so after three hours we felt we had to fight the powers. This picture doesn't give justice to the rain AT ALL but you can probably imagine. Tina trying to navigate through the puddles.

My Shanghai Romance: Bye Rach...
http://myshanghairomance.blogspot.com/2012/08/bye-rach.html
Torsdag 9 augusti 2012. My friends, and the followers of this blog, know that I dislike goodbye parties very much. I am not great at handling the fact that someone is leaving. It is bad enough when it is an acquaintance that you kind of like, or a colleague you appreciate, but when it is one of your closest friends it is just not ok. Rachel, it is NOT ok. But, what to do, can't really skip it now, can you? And she replied "I haven't.". So I wrote the ultimate and most awesome guide to Europe ever made...

Torsdag 29 september 2011. Ikväll går det alltså av stapeln, Ärtans Vänner, som ingen mindre än jag arrangerar tillsammans med oerhört kompetenta Johan och även Gustav som dock är bortrest denna dagen D tyvärr.

My Shanghai Romance: Last day...
http://myshanghairomance.blogspot.com/2012/08/last-day.html
Måndag 20 augusti 2012. So today is my last day at work. If you would have asked me a few months ago if I saw this coming I would say "oh hell no! So it's been quite a ride to be honest. I am not sad to leave, I am pretty done with this place, but it is damn scary to know that tomorrow I will wake up not knowing where life will take me next. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Let's just modify that and say what doesn't kill you doesn't kill you. 23 augusti 2012 00:54. Hi there, welcome!

My Shanghai Romance: juni 2012
http://myshanghairomance.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Onsdag 20 juni 2012. It is that time of year here in Shangers, when the Plum Rain. Has arrived. The name is poetic and romantic, but the rain is the same. This time though, my third plum rain season, it is actually not that bad. At least not yet. The second one, June 2011, I could not really recall, so I had to go back in the blog to find out. Took this pic on my way from work yesterday, apocalyptic feeling. Decathlon is a huge French sports equipment retailer that has a number of stores around Shanghai&...
