Shanghai blog (上海博客)

It’s been a while since I started my Shanghai blog, and I’m amazed every day at how many people like to read the crap that I write (in English AND Chinese!). Blogs about Shanghai are often populated with middle-aged, white, China-loving pseudo-nerds, and I’m glad that I’m breaking some of those stereotypes with this site (I plan to die when I’m 273 years old, so technically I won’t be middle-aged for another 63 years).

我开始写上海博客也有一段时间了,我很惊讶每天有那么多人喜欢读这些我写的垃圾(英文和中文的!). 博客内容通常都是关于在上海的中年人,白领,喜欢上海的伪君子,而且我很开心通过这个网站我打破了一些成见(我打算在273岁的时候死,所以这样来说的话再过63年以后我还是到不了中年).
