jiayuan and the special olympics

Now that we've left Shanghai, I can talk freely about where we used to live. The Jia Yuan Complex (also known as Chez Moi) is a pretty awesome area of town to live in, and the apartments aren't bad either.

One of the better aspects about living in this complex was the very active Jia Yuan Community Organization. Often, they put on performances, school holiday activities for the kiddies, and various other 'community-minded' events for the complex's residents.

Just before we left, we noticed that Jia Yuan was gearing up to host some athletes for the Special Olympics in Shanghai. Walking past our community's organization office, we saw this sign which welcomed some of the special athletes who were to visit our community. Linda immediately engaged her editorial and language skills, and offered to 'smooth out' some of the mistakes in the English-language signage.

As for me, I looked like a doofus and took photos.
