Rainbow City Lifestyle Mall
Watch the video here.
The only thing I bought. Very useful. And only 32 Yuan (+ 2,90 Yuan for the bulb).
Hongkou Night
Women Hospital
My barber’s. We think the sign says they will reopen on April 30th.
As usual: We know many characters but have no clue about their meaning in combination.
My street.
The house on the other side.
Just a Little Bit
My vegetarian food didn’t even comply with the Chinese definition as I could spot the meat easily. The waitress said it’s just “a little bit” but they finally cooked the dish again.
Mifan. I could eat tons. And I begin to understand why Chinese like it that much.
Waitresses standing around. As all Chinese restaurants this one also had personnel en masse.
Just Around the Corner
Old and new. The World Financial Center.
I think my house is the second one on the right. (Update: Ok, it’s not.)
How to Become a Movie Star
Hi,
I think I forget something. Some of my friends are major in director (making films) and they need a foreign actor.I think you are the best for the role!Are you willing to come and help them with the short film?

B: but you don’t tell me that I am that foreigner, right?
… I just play someone who says “hello” or something and that’s it
A: of cours ure the foreigner
B: aaaaaah

A: They’ll tell you how to act, take it easy
[…]
A: actually it will be on the TV
B: whaaaat?

… tongji=
… ?
… shanghai?
… china?
… aaaaaah
A: Shanghai Educational Channel
B: na halleluja
I’m B…
Shanghai Library
China’s largest public library.
The “Rechtshandbuch für Erzieherinnen” (”law guide for educators") should be part of every well-assorted library. ;-)
Xuhui
I’ve never thought these gray trees could ever get green.
Soldier in front of the U.S. Consulate General.
Small house with large garden.
I didn’t know that we were in the street of bonbon. It’ll take more time to get to know the city.
In Heping Park, Again
No idea what the man’s doing there. He was holding on to the shrub in a weird position without moving.
My bike outside.
Down the Road
A church at People’s Square
At first we didn’t know where the music came from. Then we looked up. We were under the balcony, he was above us.
Notice the dancing men.
Finding Flashcards
A picture is worth a thousand words. And particularly useful if you don’t know these words. ;-)
Getting My Hair Cut
With a picture of me after I had gotten my hair cut in Germany, I finally went to the barber’s. Usually it only takes about ten to fifteen minutes but this time I spent almost an hour there. For 38 Yuan (about 3,60 Euro) I got my hair washed, a head massage and a haircut.
Then the barber (r.) wanted the washing guy to take a picture of him and me and I took one of them.
I got the hair wash and the massage on the front chair on the left but had to go to the back to wash out the shampoo.
The lights were already turned off when I left around midnight but when they realized that I’m taking a picture they turned them on again:
Sunday Morning, Heping Park
Many people take their birds for a walk and hang them in the trees. Good for the sound, not so good for the birds, I assume. But if they’re always in the small cages then the new environment might be a welcome change.
Notice the old man at the beginning. He’s pushing his wheelchair. Seems to be some kind of hobby amongst older people. I see one or two of them per week.
