A friend who I haven't seen or talked to for almost 2 years resurfaced again this weekend. It began with a phone call, "Hello, can I speak to...."
I said, "Leonore!?!? What on earth have you been up to?"
"I'm here with a research team. We are doing some interviews on the democratic development / civil society in your city. Do you have time to meet up?"
The next day, we met in-between her interviews at the university's Starbucks. After 2 weddings and a baby (her new baby boy) later, us two gals were all caught up of nearly two years worth of life.
She invited me and Chris to move to Shanghai. In her words, Chris and I should "seriously consider it" because she believes that there are lots of opportunities for us there.
Funny enough, Chris and I have always liked Shanghai, especially Chris. We've visited Shanghai twice so far, the first time was for a student exchange program in 2006 and the second time was for Expo 2010. In a nut shell, Shanghai left us with a very good impression both times.
At this early stage in the game, Leonore, Chris and I are all thrilled about the possibilities. There's nothing like moving to a new and exciting city to begin anew and realize our dreams.
