10 Reasons to be Excited About Spring
Does this even need to exist? Do we need to convince you of how wonderful spring in Shanghai is? Probably not, but we will anyway. Here’s our list of 10 reasons why you should be VERY excited about spring in the city…
Bike Rides Won’t Suck Anymore
Finally! Riding a bike outside in Shanghai won’t force your face into that squished, pained, exasperated expression. You might even smile during your ride!
Outdoor Festivals and Events
We’re excited about any outdoor event here, regardless of what the theme is. Music/beer/food/crafts... We’ll take it as long as it’s outdoors.
Drink Outside!
Well yeah, DUH. Nothing is quite as pleasant as a drink outside on a sunny day in Shanghai.
Dog Stuff
If you have a dog, it’s finally the time of year where taking it out for a walk doesn’t make you regret owning it (just kidding, we love dogs all year round).
Picnics
Friends, food, drinks, red and white checkered blankets, Longaberger baskets. What’s not to love?
Flowers and Leaves
The long Shanghai winter might have made you forget that colors exist, but they do!
Less Clothing
Shed the layers! Put the coats away and…
Break Out The Flip Flops
Yes, say what you will about the stylistic decision to don flops, but we love them and we’re excited to wear them.
Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables
It’s time for fresh, seasonal fruits and veggies! Take a break from the meat and potatoes and go buy some lychees or something!
Spring Cleaning
It may not be the most fun thing you ever do, but it sure feels good to get rid of all your old clothes, books, random shit you bought from IKEA, or even that thick layer of dust beneath your refrigerator.
