Saturday in Shanghai--catching up on lots of grading!

Today was a busy day trying to catch up on grading in both classes.  Jean worked on the English class work and Rod worked on the Embedded Systems Technology work.  At one point in the afternoon, we walked over to the campus to take some of the graded work, reload some water bottles to use in our apartment, and to buy some fruit for our dinner.  We had been given some special zongzi or sticky rice dumplings wrapped and tied in bamboo leaves, since the Dragon Boat Festival is coming in a week.  Whenever we walk to campus or around the neighborhood, we find interesting things to capture in photos.  The other night we saw a trailer parked or broken down in a nice neighborhood, loaded with rattan furniture.  Today we saw a man on a bamboo ladder handling electrical wires ever so casually!!!  We also saw 2 different men on tall ladders on the college campus, moving their ladders while standing on them...moving them like stilts.  Ladder-walkers Jean called them! So even though we keep very busy, we still try to capture some things to share with you in photos!

The man behind me is a ladder-walker.


Zongzi cut open to eat plus green tea.
