This past week has been one of those weird weeks...
For starters I can actually count the total number of hours slept...
I spent most of my nights eating out instead of in... The sky has been a constant grey which has been just about the only factor that has remained the same...
Been seeing Shanghai using two different sets of eyes... It has been a really interesting experience...
It all started when Chris and I went down to the Shanghai World Financial Center for a meal... When you leave the street level and enter the sanctuary of the building, there is a silence that greets you and it feels like you are in a totally different part of the world- transported out of Shanghai... It is like living a totally different existence while in the building and this is only from being in the basement of the building having a meal... But when one takes the escalator back up to the ground level, you are back in reality...
Went shopping over the weekend at Superbrand Mall and once again that feeling of 2 different worlds came popping back into my head... I went from the fast paced frenzie of Lotus center to the calmer normality of Esprit... It is strange as both happily coexist in the same building... In saying that, there is always a change of attitude among the service staff and it is really intesting at times to just people watch... Ok it is one of my favorite activities as it is but to just watch how people react and respond is a real eye opener for me...
But the truth of the matter is, can I exist in this artificial world and be totally removed from my reality or do I happily code switch between the two or do I turn my back on one of them?
