The trip has been great so far, but very lonely without any friends here. That all changed Tuesday when Maja arrived! She and I have been to India and Istanbul together. She is a good friend and a great travel partner. She transferred to the Shanghai office in January but was in New York when I arrived here! She finally came back in time to make my trip more fun.
We met for dinner last night and she helped me find two of the things I was missing from home.
You can't see them, but they snuck pickles on the pizza!
It was nowhere near awful!
The Chinese food has all been very good (except the one mystery lunch item that I would like to forget), but it was time for something familiar. I have also noticed the lack of chocolate on dessert menus, so thankfully this place is across the street from my hotel!
I am looking forward to the adventures we take Saturday!
