Summer is here
July 6, 2008 – 9:21 pmIf anyone in Shanghai has been ignorant of the time of year to this point, all doubt was removed as you stepped out the door. The weather in Shanghai is now what people use as an excuse to leave. The temperature today was around 38 degrees (100 F) and characteristically for Shanghai, humid to boot. There seemed to be fewer people walking and riding bikes this afternoon, no doubt sitting out the heat in some shady or air conditioned place. Two more months of this and then it starts getting cooler.
It seems likely I will not go to Beijing next month for the olympics. I am considering attending an event or two that takes place in Shanghai. In some ways I suppose it would be silly not to take this opportunity.
But life in Shanghai continues as normal. Work goes on at its frenzied and chaotic pace, and while many families are travelling during the summer, there are still a few kids around to make youth group a nice comfortable place.
