Interior of our house

It has been a few days. It takes a long time to download these images.
This is our front door. We all have slippers that we put on when we walk in the door. Coats hanging to the right with shopping bags. It costs extra if you get a plastic bag at the store, so we always try to bring our own bags. This is our living room. Everything looks quite spare. We have nothing on the walls or floors. I am going to have the couch and chairs recovered so it doesn't look quite so English. I prefer a more Asian look while we are here. The windows look out onto our patio.
Looking into the dining room from the living room (Paige and Storey getting ahead on a little math), french doors on the left going out to the patio.
The patio where we hang our laundry whenever possible. The perimeter is all bamboo. Too hot to eat outside, yet.
The kitchen, looking in from the dining room. This is Shuayi, who helps us out a bit. She is wonderful.
The front door is to the left of the staircase, straight ahead through the arched doorway.
The downstairs bathroom which also holds the washer and dryer.
Heading up to the second floor.
The three bedrooms and a bath are on the 2nd floor. Rugs and artwork to come, hopefully.
Stairs up to the 3rd floor and Ridley's office.
The work room, basically a landing.
Doors going out to the roof from Ridley's office.
View from the first roof.
Going up to the second roof top deck.
Looking east toward the Bund. Lots of building missing from this picture! I'll try another shot on a clearer day.
Lots more to report later.
