Since my character has been impressing me a lot lately i dragged myself away to a hot yoga class tonight which was fantastic since i got away from this depressingly raw cold!

My instructor said we should go every day for 2 months and then we would start to improve..does not feel like a realistic goal to me so i will continue with my maximum 1-2 times a week and pretend like i am a real yogi anyway.

I go to Y+ which is a great place with really good instructors. They have 2 locations, 1 in Xintandi and 1 at the end of Fuxing road and this area is really nice with my favorite interior shop Casa Pagoda, a Ginger cafe and some other small independent shops.

Adress is 299 Fuxing Rd close to Huashan Rd

Since Cias birthday is coming up this weekend we decided to precelebrate her since all of us can not attend her party on saturday.

We had dinner at her favorite local restaurant- Cottons on 133 Anting rd, close to Jianguo Rd and the food was great, especially the lamb chops!

If you come to Shanghai, do not forget to go to the antique market, which in real life is a overcrowded warehouse.

You can find anything from tables, chairs, dressers, frames, birdcages etc.

After you find your treasure you can choose the preferred color and they deliver it to your adress a few days later.

Dont forget a flashlight and if you go in the summer- bring a mosquito repellent!
