Welcome to the Shanghai Racquet Club! Our school owns 70 apartments right here in the SRC, 5 minutes from school. It is so fun to live amongst so many SAS families! There are two girls just below us, and the principal of the Elementary School just below them. Tonight we went to a middle school party two buildings down. Not everyone from our school lives here, but a majority do. You are bound to see someone you know around the compound at all times.
There are workers maintaining the property 7 days a week.
The pool at the clubhouse with full bar and food service. Life is tough here. :)
One of the many parks on the compound.
Our building (side view). We are the small balcony on the 3rd level (2nd level American style).
There's a hot tub (or cold tub at this point) through the bushes.
The closest pool to our building, can be seen from our balcony! It has an infinity edge and goes right down by the lakes and rivers.
The front of our building and garages where we store our bikes and Tuktuk.
Another playground.
Our tuktuk in the driveway.
Our tuktuk in the garage. Kids are standing, you sit in the back where the blue canvas is.

Our building sign. :)
Bryson will be playing soccer here on Tuesdays.
Not pictured: Convient store with many western groceries, western doctors office, full service spa, rec center, kids play room, aerobics room, indoor courts of all kinds, etc. :)
We are loving life in the SRC. Now if only the taxi drivers could get us back here easily! LOL Oh well, they are forcing us to learn some Chinese!
From Lauren (Michel-Budge): First grade is fun, but I still miss kindergarten. I ate with chop sticks last week at P.F. Chang's. I have a question for you. What grade do you teach?
ReplyDeleteMe and Ms Duvall miss you. XOXO,
Lauren
