Before the Storm.

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I last posted. I have been back in California for almost a week. Next week, I'm finally heading over to Baltimore to start my college life! I'm a bit nervous but excited at the same time...

Anyways, I found some pictures taken during a short family trip up to 陽明山 (Yang-Ming Mountain) in Taipei. It was a beautiful day, right before a typhoon hit Taiwan. 

The sky was azure, and I thought I could see clearer from the mountain than I previously could. For some reason, this shot is particularly blue...

Shanghai.

 *None of the pictures I took really shouts "Shanghai!" when you look at them. I kind of just took whatever I found interesting.*

Over the weekend, I visited Shanghai. It's a place that means a lot to me; I spent three years there, met some awesome teachers and made some life-long friends. 

The city hasn't changed that much. Skyscrapers, clamor, semi-gray skies all felt so familiar. After arriving at the airport, I took the maglev to find Audrey, my friend from St. George's. I stayed at her place, and her family was more hospitable than I could ever ask for.

I went to visit my old school Dulwich College Shanghai. It was a pity that the guards refused to let me in, so I could only take a picture here.
