perkins in shanghai

It's Ian here, blog world, hello.
I am currently in shanghai, where i am about to work with W+K shanghai till the end of the year. I have been out and about my first few days soaking up some Chinese culture. (see above.)

I have to say Shanghai is amazing. Wo ai Shanghai (I love it). It's really amazing here. I managed to use my basic mandarin to order food and drinks and have been understood so far which is pretty nice. On my second day I was told I have a baby face and rabbit teeth by a nice girl on the street.

The pictures are of me drinking when I met up with scott, liana and kerli who I know from W+K. There's me sight seeing...

...and then there's a tv ship that plays adverts on the river...

...a terrible haagen-dazs advert "love her, love haagen dazs" (hopefully I can do better when I get into some projects).

There's an ad agency sign from the shanghai advertising company, just round from W+K, which sums up everything that we ad folk offer in a nice little montage. 

The newspapers are displayed each day on the streets (i just look at the pictures- it was of the chinese astronauts space walking).

There is a mild sulphur smell in the air from all the construction work, but i haven't found the pollution too bad, but it's the end of typoon season so i guess the wind is keeping it clearer.

All in all an amazing start to my time here, it's really tai hao le (great).
