I am back from Shanghai now. It is quite a place! So big, so many people, and everything from 100+ storey buildings to narrow lanes. I had a great time at the Shanghai American School. I spoke to heaps of kids from all over the world, and everyone there made me and the other visiting authors very welcome.

Here are a few pictures from my visit.

Here I am in the tallest building in Shanghai. 88 floors up.

This is a pretty water town called Zhujiajiao about 30 km from Shanghai.

Here I am with some of the kids from the Pudong campus of the Shanghai American School. You can see one of the dragons that the younger kids made for me.

I am in the middle of my first visit to an overseas school. I’m in Shanghai in China!

I’ll put up some pictures when I can get them onto my computer. It’s very exciting. I’m at the Shanghai American School, which is a school for the kids of people who work here. They come from all over the world—Korea, Taiwan, Europe, Britain and the US. It’s a huge school with around 3000 students. By the end of this week I will have done workshops with all the middle school students.

If I’ve been a bit slow responding to emails and blog comments, I hope you’ll understand.
