So we completed the move to the new apartment today.
Fourth time in a year.
It's tiring just thinking about it. Not all expatriates enjoy the glamorous lifestyle. No limos, no villas with a pool in the backyard. No permanence either.
Thankfully the landlords we've encountered have been kind. The Shanghainese may be known for their prickly and tough personality. But beneath that, most are just folks who've had a tough life. They're always glad when we show kindness and understanding. Even reciprocating to the point of being charitable at times.
The lesson we learned over the past year? ...all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them
