Amidst the sea of faces and laces (the women here in China love these on their t-shirts), I already find little sparks of joy.
This is indeed heartening!
Not just muffins, but top heavy, chunky little jewels! They even have marvellous flavours like green tea. Lovely...Beautiful blue sky days make all the difference. China has no lack of them, unlike what many think. It's absolutely heartwarming.This bakery has been around for a century, I believe. Kissling Bakery's bread is old recipe, and well, tastes rather Russian, in my humble opinion....Decathlon is like the IKEA for sporty bees. I discovered this gem in Shanghai, and couldn't believe how low the prices were. One can spend hours here just finding things to buy...
And last and not least, a little women’s haven. Singapore, get with it already!
Forgive my frivolousness. But here she stands - H&M Tianjin. The place I never seem to get tired of, from HK to Zurich to Spain. Can't wait to check her out!
I guess these things help to overcome homesickness, and I hope it keeps us going when things get rougher here.
Alright, time to prepare for Monday. Working on my own little dictionary of EN-CN business words at the moment…
