From my first blog post:

"Were really moving to Shanghai. How do I know this? For the past 7 days, strange men have been milling around my house packing our stuff. They put it in boxes marked Sea. Or Air. Or Storage. Just for fun, I let them decide where it was all going. Yippee!

Myself and my three children (13, 10 & 7) will be following my husband to Shanghai, China. I believe the correct term is trailing spouse but the word trailing brings to mind a vine the kind you want to rip off your house, or spray Round-Up on. I wont be using that term..."

Hi megkamy,

Welcome to Shanghai! Are you getting all settled in?

Have you checked out/ joined the Shanghaimamas.org community? They are the best resource for living here by far! Hope you and your family are enjoying the city. The weather will be more bearable come Oct : )

Cheers,
Kristina

Yes, I've been posting on that board for a few months! I'm hoping this heat wave breaks soon, it is wearing us out. We are enjoying the city! Thank you!

Welcome to China.

I am also a new arrival in Shanghai. I arrived here just yesterday. I was previously based in Suzhou for a year but am transferring here to Shanghai to take up a new Teaching role in the Xihui District.

While I am not new to China and Chinese culture I am a complete stranger to Shanghai, where I don't know my way about and have little or no friends here. I hope both you and I can settle in here real soon. I wish you luck in your stay, and who knows when we both get settled in perhaps we can hook up for a coffee and a chat or whatever.
