A Thousand Mornings

“I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall—
what should I do? And the sea says
in its lovely voice:
Excuse me, I have work to do.”

― Mary Oliver

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”

20th May 2019: Last Day in Shanghai

Beautiful weather only on our last morning of course. 

Didn't try these but I thought the packaging was adorable. 

Old school post office? No idea. 

All we got were snacks for family and friends haha. 

Live update about what Tofu was up to. 

Hehe cuties! 

Pre-flight "lunch". 

So sad to check out :'( 

Flight home was smooth at least. 

First thing we did was to pick up the puppy <3 

Time to go home <3

Hum

“The rain to the wind said,
You push and I'll pelt.
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged--though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.”

19th May 2019: Museum x Seira

Woke up to terrible haze 4th day in a row. 

But got a professional hair was with a puppy so that was good hehe. 

Dude went for "breakfast" while I was getting my hair done, but that looks like a lot of food man. 

Contemporary art museum time! 

Can relate. 

Not too sure what these had to do with the exhibitions, but the museum shop had pretty stuff. 

Psychedelic walls at the museum's cafe. 

Wandering around Xin Tian Di, not sure what this dude is doing lol. 

More fluffy friends! 

Snackie time! 

Dinner at a fancy Si Chuan place with my jiejie Seira! I'm not really a big fan of this cuisine but she chose such a lovely place I couldn't say no. So I just endured the mala haha. 

The peppercorns making me cringe so hard. 

They had these crazy alcoholic drinks though! Love the dramatisation 

I got to take this fan home too?? 

Off for dessert after a short walk post-dinner hehe. 

<3 Can't believe she looks exactly the same even after so much time has passed.

Popsicle with champagne hehe. 

Jiejie then brought us to another cool bar - which I never would've found myself haha. 

Tiny crepe which tasted AMAZING. 

Cool industrial toilet. 

Fancy cocktails before we stumbled back to the hotel and I collapsed in the bed lol.
