In search of local, organic, sustainable food...

As awareness of food safety and sustainable issues grows in China, more organic, local and sustainable options are popping up. On Saturday, we gathered together with friends to tour an organic farm, visit an urban farming initiative and eat delicious food at 2 restaurants that feature local, organic food. There are many more places to explore and investigate when it comes to local, sustainable options, which, for foodies, is good news.

Korean late-night archery...

We've been busy with work for the last little while and I've been delinquent at posting photos of our recent adventures around Shanghai. As always, there are so many great options for food and fun in this city, and we've been sampling food at new restaurants like Sichuan Citizen, beer at places like Liquid Laundry and going out to do fun things like see a British production of The Tempest at the Lyceum Theatre and biking to explore new neighbourhoods in Jinqiao. This weekend we also enjoyed a fun night on the town with good friends, sampling excellent beers on tap at Daga Brew Pub and infused vodka cocktails at a very funky, tiny bar called Magpie and then stringing up some bows at a late-night Korean archery place on the Pudong side of the river. We're amazed that each time we go out we find new places to enjoy. It will be awhile before we run out of fun things to do in Shanghai.   :)
