China Daily Life Photos Shanghai

Shanghainese ballet

Thanks to the holiday break, I’ve been enjoying my week off of work. Taurin got me a sound system for an early Christmas gift, so I’ve been blasting music and cleaning my place. I rearranged some furniture as well. Here are some self-portraits from my living room!

These wool shoes from Hongkong are so comfortable

A couple people have asked me what I do for living. Well, I’m a full-time teacher! I work at a big international school in Shanghai owned by the Chinese government. Last week we had a winter talent show, and it was really adorable. I’m still not sure how I feel about the bright red backdrop..

On Monday my co-workers and I headed to the center to see Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker performed by a local ballet troupe. They also had a bright backdrop. I suppose red is a lucky color!

    Instead of seeing the Nutcracker with my family I tried to go to the Bull Run Festival of Lights, but the traffic was backed up miles and miles so we went to a crazy lit up house instead, and they had literally a hundred vintage plastic light-up santas in the front yard with a big sign above them that said "Santa Town." It was weird. Anyway, still loving the last photo.

    The Nutcracker with the red backdrop is such an interesting twist! You always see an icy/blue backdrop. Also, I have been looking for shoes like your black ones forever! They seem comfortable but still have a little bit of a wedge heel that isn't like "omg wedge heel"–I like that its subtle 🙂
