The city lights of Shanghai glow through the curtain of my hotel room… or should say, “my new home”. We touched down this afternoon around 3:30 pm. The mist hovered over the ground like a blanket but the sun still managed to shine through clouds and welcome us to China.

Yesterday I packed up the last of my things in my room on Paradisgade and said goodbye (temporarily) to Denmark. I will return in the spring when the skies are blue and the sundresses are out; when the city bikes are back on the street and afternoons are spent lying on the terrace or perhaps on the beach with your toes dug in to the sand.

I am excited to begin this new chapter in the East. And I must say, I am doing it in good company. We of Team13 have been picked up, shipped out of Denmark and dropped off in the exciting and mysterious city of Shanghai: population 18 million. No doubt we will create some stories worth telling.

It’s just after midnight on this side of the world. That’s 7 hours ahead of Denmark and 13 hours ahead of Cape Cod. So good morning, good afternoon and good night to all of you…

love. sky.
