I've been seeing more and more views like the one pictured here lately. As the days get shorter, the cool aspect is that you get a nice early morning view of the sunrise over Shanghai. Not that in the past two weeks it has been clear outside - haze & fog. Lovely.

I've been pretty busy of late - my work has 'finally' finished the construction of our new research facility, so its all action stations. Plus its coming to the end of the year & everything is starting to rev up. On top of my usual working hours, I went to work on Sunday afternoon & last night got home at 10pm - missing Ultimate Disc. That was really annoying - I could have done with running for two hours last night to destress.

In other sport news, Reign Design is now 0-5 - we rock. Our team is improving each game but we just can't crack it for a win. We could have beaten the side we played but we fell away just after half time. I probably played my best game for the year too which I am happy about, but would have prefered the win nonetheless. Its strange - I haven't won any sport nor been succeeding in anything since coming to Shanghai.
Everything has been a struggle, whether language, work, sport etc.

Is this my true exposure to the big bad world?
