Felita, Arita, Jonas, Chantal and Anika visit for a whirlwind 2 weeks, timing Spring's arrival perfectly. So much fun having friends who are so close that they are like family living with you. Alan, having to work, couldn't join in all the festivities, and even ML, the ultimate hostess, had to admit defeat and let the guests do some of the activities on their own. ERA - an updated Chinese acrobat show with a Cirque du Soleil feel - was one of the highlights. All the great meals - Charmant, 1221, Goga - were even tastier with the spice of friendship. Funnily enough, the garage sale at Lisa and Karen's complex was a blast. As the pictures show, walking the streets, however, is still the most fascinating activity in Shanghai. And the kids are so photogenic. After everyone left, the apartment felt empty and silent. Kyle missed Chantal. I guess we'll just have to go to LA and move in with Felita for a few weeks!
