Huānyíng guānglín zai SHANGHAI!: Finding Nemo and Paradise

This Blog is about loving and living in Shanghai. 25 Million Chinese and US! - two "lao wais" (foreigners) called Paul and Angelika who are living right in the heart of the city.Not one day passes where we don´t get fascinated by living here as this place is full of stories and adventures. Big ones, small ones and of coarse our very personal one. You are warmly invited to experience some of these adventures with us and to find out that after all Shanghai is only just a little more crazy than other parts in the world. It´s all a matter of perspective :-). Welcome to our home and to the GOLDLINCOLN Blog!

Finding Nemo and Paradise

One of the great things about living in Asia is that some of the best beaches are - relatively spoken - close to you. With only 4 hours flight to Manila and no jetlag from Shanghai the Philipines make a great paradise get away. We had never been to the Philipines, so it was about time that we found out if it is true that some the beaches are supposed to be best in the world.

We found paradise. Not in Manila but another 1 hour flight later on Palawan, 3 hours drive through the jungle to Port Barton and 1 hour by boat later we made it to Turtle bay.

We were stranded on this dream island with absoluteling NOTHING to do but to eat, sleep, read, snorkling, a bit of kayaking, followed by more snoozing.

Most of the time we just lazed in our hammocs and gazed at the amazing colours nature had to offer.
And that is about all we can tell you about our last couple of weeks :-)

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.
