One of my favorite things about living in Shanghai — that I can go downstairs and there’s so much to do. But also that there are all these secret worlds just through a doorway.
Example:
Residential Community: (note the plastic exercise equipment!)
Street: (note the rear of the residential buildings)

Yay more China comics.
Yay, China comics! And yum, Dongbei restaurant!
I really like that about Chinese cities. I liked the quiet community part, and also the easy walk to two grocery stores and countless restaurants. It can make navigating a little inconvenient, though, because you have to go around all the huge gated complexes.
Yay, new website! I just went through and read all the comics again to celebrate. And now I really want to go back to China!
This summer??!!
Also: the street that I drew here has lots of yummies. I think I’d have trouble deciding between the Dongbei food and the Tianjin Baozi.
