About 我 (me)

Hi!  Salut!  你好!

I started this blog to share my exploits with family and friends, but as I've heard I'm getting some other visitors too (welcome!), I thought I'd better introduce myself:

I'm Claire. I'm 26, from Edmonton, Canada, and chose Shanghai as my post-university destination in 2008 when I wanted an adventure and Canadian job prospects were bleak. I've studied here, worked here, made good friends here, and although some days make me want to jump in the ocean and swim towards Vancouver, I've concluded that Shanghai is pretty great.

There! Thanks for visiting, and don't forget to say 'hi' in the comments - it's really exciting to get them.

Me, enthusiastic.  I told you I love visitors.
