Montreal--Detroit--Tokyo--Shanghai, 我终于回到了阔别两年多的故乡-上海。微风夹着冬雨，湿润的空气都是那么熟悉。而从埔东机场回家的这一段路，却又是那么的陌生。但夜幕下的外滩依然那样美丽。

因为妈妈生病，没有准备大鱼大肉， 但对我来说，只要是在家， 吃妈妈亲手做的菜，就是最幸福的是啦。我还是吃到了油煎带鱼，咸菜炒冬笋，清蒸乳鸽。下午，等雨小一写，与老爸老妈出去逛一圈。 我的故乡之行的第一天开始了！ 当然没忘了在蒙城的朋友们，我在上海向你们问好啦！！

上海变化真是大啊！！离开这两年，回来真的变成乡下人了！不认识路，也不知怎么坐地铁，连逛马路也不会了！！别笑我，上海一下子多出来那么多“广场”：中环广场，中信泰富广场，时代广场 等等， 好多其它的我连名字也记不住。而且，石门路的天桥拆了，海宁路却又建起了天桥。华亭路的服装市场搬到了襄阳路，那儿是我见到老外最多的地方。连天的阴雨也没有挡住他们找“名牌”的脚步啊！！
明天就是圣诞夜了，小区里里外外也张灯结彩。我心里暗想，蒙城一定迎来了又一个白色圣诞节了吧！！ 祝大家圣诞节快乐，吃好喝好玩好！！

To gaga and hx, 一路平安！！
To Xiaoan, I will be back in three weeks, not too long!!

Crystal, be sure to check out the bars and coffee houses on Heng Shan Road. Some of  those are worth going, but not cheap (50 yuan per person).

I was also in Shanghai the past summer, teaching english wiht EF, here are some memorable moments(吃).
1. 龚记馄饨 (all the time, all over the place)
2. 印度小厨(永嘉路)
3. 复旦门口的小摊
....
the list goes on..
Crystal... are you coming back soon? Can't wait to meet you guys

由于连天下雨，这几天就只能在家门口逛逛。阔别才两年多， 上海变化真大呀。公共汽车汽车上居然有中英文两种报站，马路上所有的路牌也都换成中英文， 而取代了以前的拼音。写到这儿，大伙儿不会笑我老土吧，真的是发现上海越来越注意国际大都市的形象了。音像店里的商品品种之多（不管正版，盗版），令我大开眼界，原来想大买特买的我，反而不知买啥好啦。商店里的售货员态度也是那么热情，令我受宠若惊。嘿嘿。  昨天终于有了一个艳阳天。本小姐居然直奔南京路！ 置身在熙熙儴儴的南京路上，真切的感到上海的活力。几乎所有的商店里都象过节一样人来人往，而今年北美商店里的萧条是众所周知的。人民公园却也不复存在了，取而代之的是一片人工绿地，我依稀还记得儿时在那里玩耍的情景。而如今景也变，人也老啦。更可恶的是，本小姐居然水土不服，近日脸上张满了小痘痘！！！
至于淮海路，下个星期再去吧，I ‘d like to save the best for last!

Karin 朋友，谢谢你的关心，妈妈看到我，身体就好了大半啦。本人才疏学浅，实因思乡心切，才敢写这么一点点东西，见笑了。

Valeisay, actually, I should ask some details form you. I have no idea about where to buy stuff and where to have some fun. I am waiting for you!

Xiaoan, hope see you somewhere.

First time I went back to Shanghai was last Christmas, being away for homecity for 5 years. I felt so excited when the plane landed... almost cried. Actually I did cry when the plane was stuck in Montreal for 1 hour ...:-(
Anyway, enjoy your time in Shanghai Crystal. I hope I can meet you guys sometime.
