How to get books to 4th floor?
What do you do if you have a truckload of books to be delivered to the 4th floor of a building without an elevator??
Creative solution!
Welcome home
We had a great view of Shanghai when returning home from the Netherlands!
Lunar Eclipse
At 20h00 we still had a bright full moon over Shanghai, but with the Earth getting in it’s way, it fades out and turns red.
We spend 20 min outside in the cold (it is 2 degrees in Shanghai now) to get a good photo. Was it worth the cold?
Sinterklaas = Pepernoten!
No Sinterklaas (Dec 5) without pepernoten. This years supply in Shanghai needs some extra work. But the efforts pay off, nice and warm ‘kruidnoten’ are here today. See if they can make it till tomorrow…..
Dinner @home
Cold outside + fries in the fridge, we had dinner at home. We just ran to the supermarket in our block to get some salad [Ruccola, Vien's favorite], such that we would also have some ‘greens’. The Airfryer got it’s first time to make fries (and codfish nuggets), while we also had ham-pancakes with cheese. Big advantage of eating at home: It’s in front of the TV, so we have our share of The Big Bang Theory as well.
Mille-Feuille
We found a piece of France in Shanghai, way outside the French concession. Actually it is all the way up north in Zhabei district. What brought us there? The best “layer-cake”in Shanghai! Called ‘Napoleon’ (after the Italian version of the French ‘Mille-Feuille) it is very hard to eat (too crispy and creamy) but definately worth the effort!!
