2 Shanghai not as Safe as Before

Zaoshang hao!
about 2 months ago I posted a comment, indicating I would be making a brief visit to Shanghai. Now I am here, and leaving tomorrow for Beijing.
Not having come back to Shanghai since 1989, I was amazed by the immense change your city has experienced. In a way, it reminds me of the Tokyo of, say, 40 years ago, during the phase of maximum high-rise buildings. The city is so different, but I do recognize one important element which has always been a feature of Shanghai : one can feel and hear the tremendous dynamism of the inhabitants here (gnu zi lo Zonghei = wo shi lao Shanghai...).
I'd be glad to offer you and your wife a drink, if you happen to have the time. I can be reached at any time by my e-mail address.
Best wishes for a nice weekend!

1 My Blog Won't Go Commercial

Wang xiansheng,

congratulations from a viewer in Luxemburg. I appreciate the variety of items which are touched upon in your blog, and admire your continuous effort at improving it.

On my own bilingual blog, in English and in French ( http://serenidee.over-blog.com/ ), I just started pointing out to my readers some of the websites and blogs I visit, not just by providing the electronic link to them, but by giving an evaluation of their content as well. The idea is to give the internet community, especially in Europe, a wider view of reality in the world, by attracting attention to blogs which I find worthwhile. My very first selection was a blog in India (view here: http://serenidee.over-blog.com/article-6055274.html ), and my second is about "Wang Jianshuo's blog" (view here: http://serenidee.over-blog.com/article-6079240.html ).

If you think my blog deserves a bit more than a few dozen viewers a day, I would be grateful if you provided a link to it at "Wang Jianshuo's blog".

Wo shi Faguo-ren, xuesheng shidai xuele yidian'er zhongwen (sorry, I cannot insert Hanyu script). Yexu jingnian xiatian, zai Zhongguo wo you yidian shiqing, dai Shanghai 2-3 tian. Xiwang you jihui pengdao ni.

If you wish to reply, please use my e-mail address, or post a comment after my short article about your blog. Thank you.

With best wishes from Luxemburg.
JJS.
