Our Apartment in Shanghai

These are some pictures of the view from our 34th story (penthouse) apartment in the Putuo district of Shanghai. The place has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a huge living room, plus the amazing patio pictured here. The total rent is 9000 RMB, which comes to about $1,100 U.S.





When we pointed out the lovely old neighborhood of Chinese houses next door,
the landlord said, "Don't worry about that, it won't be there long." This is sad first because its really
a nice place to walk around and experience a taste of old Shanghai. It's also sad for the more
selfish reason that the new skyscraper they build is likely to block our view.




This is our patio, as seen from the Eagle's nest above the apartment, which is accessible by a long, scary ladder.
