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!

Today I ran into Santa Claus

It may be hard to imagine but Shanghai is in Christmasfever. The decorations are up in many shopping malls, the super markets blast "Jingle Bells" and "Last Christmas" from their speakers -
and even Santa Claus is coming to town.

Today I had the honour to meet him in person as I walked along Taikan Lu. He happened to over sudden stand there right in front of me and asked if I would mind taking a picture with him


With his reindeers beeing too scared of Shanghai traffic he had arrived in a car London Cab sponsored by Intercontinental Hotels and Resorts. However his golden sack did include a few goodies well worth me posing for this little promotion :-)

I could not quite figure out what character his buddy was supposed to play (who shared with me that he was Spanish and had no clue how that costume was supposed to match the theme, either)....

But I had a little word with Santa when we finished and advised him to work a bit harder on his belly.
So far he can certainly not compete with mine, yet!!!

  1. Naja... richtig stylecht sind die zwei nicht, oder? Aber wenn der Weihnachtsmann echt ist, bestätigt das die Vermutung dass er überall sein kann: ich habe ihn auch in Nizza gesehen!

    Sag mal, was schimmert in Bauchhöhe durch die Öffnung deines Mantels? :-)

    Ich wünsche Euch Frohe Weihnachten!
    Lieben Gruss, Myriam
