Shanghai American School, where I work, is the oldest international school in Shanghai and this spring we hosted a group of alumni who graduated from SAS pre-1949. While they were here we went to a salon addressing education in Shanghai at the Peace Hotel. These are just a few photos from the Bund, the famous riverfront in Shanghai. It's really fun to go there because a lot of Chinese tourists go there and request to have their photo take WITH you which makes me feel famous! I always tell Trent to smile big for someone else's family Christmas photo. It turned out the room that the salon was held in was the former dining room of Victor Sassoon. The entire Peace Hotel has been restored to match the art deco architecture and history of the hotel. It truly is a breathtaking view, and being in that hotel on the 11th floor able to see all of the Bund and think about how much it has changed and how rapidly reminded me of how lucky I am to be living here.
