Let it rain!

I thought it has not rained much since we got here. But now I found out that Shanghai experienced the driest period since 138 years! Summer is expected to bue unusally hot and we are expecting two typhoons..Can´t make up my mind if I shall be worried or excited about it.
Find out more in the Shanghai Daily News:

Expect the unexpected - Why Shanghai?

For nearly 10 years we have lived in a cosy little village settled amongst lush green vineries on the river rhine in Germany. Just about as we were getting ready to properly settle down, we were presented with this once in a life time opportunity to move for 2-3 years to Shanghai. Was it an expereince we have been looking for? No, it wasn´t. But it was a door that opened and after a little thinking we admitted that we were by far to curious to find out what there would lay behind it. So we decided to take a "left turn" in our life, to try out something new and to move here - An estimated 20 million people mega city, 8000km away. And what have we learnt? Expect the unexpected- always and for sure in our daily life in Shanghai.
