What is RSS?"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"
-- Martin Luther King Jr.
Charitable work enriches the heart. If you think you can be of any help to others, consider volunteering.
Check out the list of charitable organisations in Shanghai here.
Exiting from the metro at Parkson Grand Square, Huai Hai Road, I saw a huge commotion just in front of the shopping center. I edged a bit close to have a look.
Apparently, a TV crew was doing some sort of filming with a female host conducting some impromptu interviews with passerbys.
A few teenagers were snapping the scene away with their camera phones and asking the TV host for autographs. I took some shots for fun since I had my camera with me.
I reckon she must me some celebrity in Shanghai ?
Anybody knows who she is ? Just curious..
Taken on a gloomy Sunday.
Almost there...

One of our readers wrote to me regarding the import of their two dogs into Shanghai.
I think this question is very relevant, especially to pet lovers out there.
For those of you intending to bring your pet along when you relocate to Shanghai, you can find the import procedures here.

Needless to say, this is also why I like Shanghai more at night.
Ever thought of having your own company memorabilia, T - shirts and other cool stuff ? And you have the design but lack the production facilities?
Check out Shanghai's version of CafePress, here. They can help!
If you lack the inspiration for designs, they have inhouse designers that can assist you too.
I thought it would be a good idea to share what camera gear I use. I shoot (sometimes) with a Canon EOS350D with standard EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens.
