We hope you didn’t have any problems, but if you found us slightly less responsive over the past seven days, it’s because we’ve all been enjoying the October 1-7 Chinese National Day holiday (AKA “Golden Week”).

Well, all that “vacation” nonsense has finally come to an end, and a Monday of torrential downpour is ushering in another sweet workweek here in Shanghai. That means we’ll be more on the ball again!

See you in the comments…
