Shanghai Wins!

I have lived under a delusion this summer.

I told myself that a Shanghai summer was no more miserable than a Midwestern summer. High heat, high humidity - same forecast for both cities.

My mother arrived yesterday from St. Louis. She stepped on the airplane amid a St. Louis August day. She stepped off of the airplane into a Shanghai summer day. And her comments? Wow, its really muggy here.

The best part?

My friends and I had just been discussing what a pleasant day it was!
