Big NEWS!

Big news and mostly photos.

After several great years in Shanghai, it's time for me to leave. Although I started this blog as a way to force myself to get out, experience the city and find something lovely, it grew into something I couldn't even imagine. I hope this blog will provide a bit of useful information and assist travelers, those who are new to the city and those who are simply curious about Shanghai.


As a final goodbye, I'm dumping a ton of cute photos that I took throughout the years. I hope you enjoy this last look at Cute Shanghai.

Back to School

As a kid, I dreaded the start of the school year, but loved going shopping for back to school clothes and new school supplies. Since, September 1st  (the first day of school for the Chinese public school system) is just around the corner, I thought it'd be fun to write about one of the most well known places to get school and art supplies in Shanghai.
