Sweet Potatoes for Sale

It's Fall here in Shanghai!  That means on street corners you will find vendors selling roasted corn and potatoes, dried fruits, and fresh squeezed juices.  I've always wondered where the sweet potatoes come from here in China.  B didn't find the farm but apparently found the supply truck!  Want a tater???

Hunter Boots

We went to a market this weekend and bargained for some Hunter rain boots - or rather "Funter" rain boots; of course they are knock-offs!  Normally $140 US we got them for 150RMB = $25 US!
I also got two pairs of really cute socks that fold over the top for a winter look; those are normally $40 US for one pair and I got two pairs for $16 US!  Out the door at $41 US - that's a deal/steal!
Let's just hope they are actually waterproof....

Happy Halloween!

We celebrated Halloween early with a party in our apartment building with coworkers.

Nice to get dressed and only have to go down an elevator a few floors!  It was a good night with good friends!  First time B has dressed up in years for Halloween and first time I have ever been somewhat bloody and goulish!

 

 

Our host, Josh, and me!

The celebration didn't stop here in Shanghai, I had a surprise all set up for Mom back in Atlanta with the help of Dad.  He got all crafty and even completed a pin from Pinterest I sent him!

See you if you can figure out the surprise....BOO!

 

Atlanta, these two ghostly gouls will see you January 29, 2014!!!
