Memories of Shanghai - an "Expat" Photoshooting

Today I would like to share with you a story which came together during an "Expat memory" -photoshoot with Sonja a few weeks ago. Sonja lived in Shanghai for a year and it was time for her now to return back to Germany. We spent a whole day visiting her favorite places and created a picture story capturing "Sonja´s" Shanghai.

What made this job a little special was that Sonja used to live round the corner from us.We even used to go to the same yoga studio. So in this photostory you will not only see Sonjas favorite spots - Yoga Space, her home, the Bund, Pudong Skyline and meet her best friend Judith - but also get a nice feel for Gao an Road (where we live) and where Paul and I go when we are too lazy to cook :-)

Let me show you what a (sunny) day in an Expat life here can be like :

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.
