A Chinese newspaper tells my story

So, I just looked at a couple of Chinese newspapers, the China Daily and the Shanghai Daily. First of all, I was in the paper,(exciting!) secondly there was a main feature about the club Obama's opening night ( which I attended) and then a feature of several Expo Pavilions (all of which I'd been to). Lord, I felt like that paper had been written for me. I've been to latest hoppin club, work at the hottest spot in all of Shanghai ( not to mention the second most popular pavilion besides China, we're everywhere in the media, am I boasting too much now?), and live in my super fabulous apartment,...oh yeah, and me and the president are on a first name basis...ok, too far. Still, I'm not sure if I could possibly live life to the fullest an ounce more in Shanghai, I'm pretty much rocking it out.
Where am I going with this again except to sound like an ostentatious American...oh yeah. The fact is, I can't think of any place I'd rather be right now besides the mountains of South East America at LEAF, or with my family at our little farm cooking out on the back porch, and DON'T even get me started on how I would kill for a day at the lake. Yes, Shanghai is a fancy place, and it does feel very glamorous to be gracing the pages of top newspapers, and meeting important people, and sitting at my balcony looking at a city night lit up with a million colored lights...but that’s the thing about China, it's all about the flash; lots of variety, 15 different colored lights on one bridge, ktv, Obama clubs, girls with pink tights and yellow sneakers and purple hair, and yet, all of these things dissapear...in a flash. So much change, new rules every day, a club shuts down another opens, a new store popping up on every corner, construction everywhere. It's overwhelming. They can laugh at me as much as they want, but I do miss my simple farm. Because sometimes a day in the mountains is better than any Lady Gaga blaring, model littered, champagne sugar daddy drinking play boys Obama club. But, aside from that, here are a few pictures to show you my life here in Shanghai these last couple weeks.
