Oli's Shanghai Blog

I’ve taken a lot of photos in Shanghai. To be honest, I’ve probably taken more pictures in Shanghai than in the rest of the world, combined. As I sat in bed this morning I got that annoying ‘your computer is running out of disk space’ message, which forced me to make a drastic decision – it’s time to move the pictures to a new home (translation: buy an external hard disk).

我在上海拍了很多照片.老实说,可能我在上海拍的照片比在世界其他地方拍的加起来都要多.当我今天早上坐在床上收到电脑发出的烦人的报告’你的电脑磁盘空间不足’时,迫使我必须作出一个决定-是时候把图片放到一个新家了.(注释:买一个新的移动硬盘.)

I then started clicking through the photos on my computer, and it struck me – I’ve been in Shanghai for more than a year. This is a pretty big thing for me, because now I’m no longer ‘new’ here. I can’t say ‘a few months’, ‘half a year’ or ‘not that long’ when people ask me ‘how long have you been in China?’ (which happens most days).

然后我开始浏览在我电脑里的照片,我突然发现我已经在上海待了一年多了.对我来说这是很大的一件事情,因为现在我不能再说我是’新来的’了.当别人问起我’你在中国待了多久?(经常被问)’我不能再说’几个月’,'半年’或者’不是很长时间’了.

Anyway, before I transfer all of them pictures off the computer, I want to put some on here to serve as a warning to (about?!) foreigners in China. Enjoy a year in Shanghai (in photos):

不管怎样,在我把这些照片从电脑里转出前,我还是想放一些在这里,就当给在中国的老外一个提醒(不知道关于哪方面?!) 在上海的一年很享受(在照片中):
