Eistein

Didn't realize. Einstein stayed at the Astor House in 1922. This room is quite popular during the Gao Kao "higher eduction exam". Parents try to book this room to inspire their children to perform well for the exams.

choice of word

We were at the Astor House in Shanghai looking at old pictures from the 1920's….. All of a sudden, A laughed out loud. I looked and had to take a snap shot of this framed article. Look at the title.

blocked

Speaking of "Inconvenient" from the last blog.  This REALLY was inconvenient.  The traffic problem outside had infected into the lobby of our apartment.  Parking of bikes were totally ridiculous.  People just left their bikes wherever they like.  Take a look this one! Totally blocking the stairs.  Gone for a month from Shanghai….. 

It's about time!

After almost two years … first wrapped in a big LV suitcase then in construction mesh, it is now reviewed. The new anchor LV store at Plaza 66 here. No wonder it took so long! The decoration facet was so detail that would have made Steve Job proud or jealous. So tasteful now yet so much inconvenient to the passerby's during the construction. Now, the Inconvenient Truth.
