Shanghai -The bund

Jag älskar att gå runt och titta på folk, äta, ta en drink och bara njuta när jag är Shanghai. Och ett av ställena jag tar med mig alla besökare till är Shanghai The Bund (eller Wàitān) eftersom där möts gammalt och nytt i en helt underbar harmoni. Det finns massor av ställen att välja … Fortsätt läsa Shanghai -The bund

Kycklingdumplings

Mina barn föredrar hemmalagade kycklingdumplings mot de man köper färdiglagade. Dumplings eller Jiaozi som de säger i Kina, är Kinas motsvarighet till ravioli helt enkelt. Jag lagar kycklingdumplings minst en gång i månaden och då får gärna något av barnen hjälpa till så att jag slipper göra alla själv, och eftersom barnen älskar hemmalagade dumplings … Fortsätt läsa Kycklingdumplings

Jing An tempel i Shanghai

Detta är enligt mig ett av de vackraste renoverade templen i Shanghai, och när jag flyttade till Shanghai för första gången 2002 så bodde jag mitt över templet. Från början så hette templet Hudu Chongyuan och namnet Jing An kommer från distriktet det ligger i, Jing An. Kontraster med templet och alla höghusen i Jing … Fortsätt läsa Jing An tempel i Shanghai

Midsommar traditioner

Midsommar i Sverige, kan det bli mycket svenskare än så? Självklart är jul, påsk, kräftskiva och alla andra högtider roliga. Men midsommar för mig är den absolut roligaste! Midsommar är ett firande av den längsta dagen på året, och det är nästan inget mörker alls. Och speciellt inte om du är norrut. Det är helt … Fortsätt läsa Midsommar traditioner

Breakfast at Equatorial in Shanghai

As I stay at Hotel Equatorial we had our first breakfast here. The Hotel has been here forever and is pretty big so the breakfast room is quite noisy.

Shanghai

My love, My Shanghai...I am fortunate to have lived in this fantastic city twice. It was not easy when I moved into a big old 5 storey lane house in 2002, from a tiny apartment in Stockholm.
