Today I took ZZ on a playdate to Aliah's, who lives right across from our former home in Beijing at Shangdi Jiaoyuan. We took the subway and the light rail, getting off at our old stop—Shangdi—and walking through the old grounds. The same curtains are still in the windows of our old apartment. The bamboo and shrubs lining the creek were quite overgrown (perhaps because it's summer?), but much was still the same. I hung out with Trish (Aliah's mom) for about an hour, then headed back on my own via the light rail. Got off at one stop past Shangdi at Wudaokou and got some yogurt and bing for a hurried lunch, then ducked into my favorite boutique clothing store there, "Pinyu Clothes" to browse the racks. Love that place. Got two very sweet long shirts that I'm looking forward to wearing once the program is over and I'm no longer a camp director!
love....
