I hope everyone had a great Valentine's day. I sure did. Despite the fact that Shanghai was more quiet than usual due to Chinese New Year (with the exception of fireworks) and most places were closed, Albert and I really enjoyed quality time together. It was also pretty cool staying in town during Chinese New Year to take part of the festivities and to be in touch with the culture and spirit here.
