Prob­a­bly the best day of our Shang­hai trip came when we per­sisted in going out for a walk despite the pissy weather, hav­ing had the best laid plans of vis­it­ing the ghetto and other his­tor­i­cally sig­nif­i­cant places dashed by the rain and not know­ing before­hand that a Shang­hainese wedding […]
