Yesterday Mark and I gave our first talks at a conference for pediatricians and neurologists at another hospital, the Children's Hospital at Fudan Medical School, located on the SW side of town. We sent Lynn off on her own in a taxi, armed with a cell phone and the address in Chinese on a card. Haven't heard from her since . . . noooooo! just kidding! Afterward another major dinner with doctors from both institutions.
Today the program started for the SCMC staff, but I wasn't scheduled to do anything. Lynn and I took a cab to the French Concession area, where the colonial architecture is preserved. Spent time in Fuxing and Huaihai parks, where people hang out and play cards, exercise on the equipment, and practice ballroom dancing. We joined them for one number, and when we had to rush off to get a cab back, the group was genuinely disappointed we weren't staying for more.

I am looking up how to say "Stop shining my shoes, dammit!" in the phrasebook.
