Time flies when you are having fun

It is hard to believe but it has been over 9 months since Theresa started her new job as Regional President, Asia Emerging Markets for Pfizer.

In that time we've sold our condo in Montreal, sold our Toronto condo, bought and moved into a new condo in Toronto and as well, moved into a new apartment in Shanghai. That's a mouthful to say the least.

We have travelled all around Shanghai getting to know the city, had some great dinners at world class restaurants and visited Hong Kong, Beijing, and Singapore. In the months ahead we plan to spend some vacation time in Thailand and look forward to exploring more of Asia and China.

I am flying back to Toronto today and will be joined by Theresa later in the month to celebrate the High Holidays and Thanksgiving in Toronto with our kids, family and friends.

While packing I sadly realized at least in Toronto the summer is pretty much over though here today it is sunny and 80 (well smoggy and 80). When we return to Shanghai in October fall will also have arrived here which will be a pleasant change from the sweltering summer heat but nothing like Toronto - I'm told fall is one of the best times in the city with clear blue skies and temperatures in the low 70's.

As is always the case with China there will continue to be strange and bizarre news which I will continue to report in the months ahead so keep checking the blog and let us know when we can get your guest room ready.
