Housewarming Party

We happily hosted our housewarming party in Shanghai a few weekends ago (sorry for the delayed post!) It was a great turnout with about 20 of our new friends here! Here are some pictures from the party and our new apartment. It's the party we've always wanted to host but never had the space to do so. I think Felipe & I were born to entertain! Our next party will take place on Sat, July 10 when we return to Shanghai from the states!

Our bedroom

Guest room #1

IKEA cubby with pics of all our friends and family to remind of us home :)

Living room

Kitchen - I love it!

Our new oven we bought since there was not one in the apt! The best investment ever (it's a Delonghi!)

Bar setup for party

Guest bathroom

Guest room #3 (sorry no sheets yet!)

Dining room area (chairs were moved for party) with a newly purchased NYC canvas

Nighttime in living room. Patti - note the "House Divided" pic with the NY Mets/NY Yankees logo - our engagement gift from 2 years ago now has a home!!

New friends. Panos (in blue) is owner of two of our favorite restaurants here. He helped cater some of the Greek food for our party.

Cheese is hard to come by here (and VERY expensive) so this was a nice treat!

The spread. I made my own homemade blue cheese sauce and
buffalo wings! YUM. Oh and bought lots of hors d'oeuvre platters, etc because I'm a big dork and I get excited over these types of things ;)

Homemade guacamole.

Friends from Felipe's Chinese class and my workplace.

One of these guys (Kevin) grew up in Princeton and calls me "west windsor" - small world haha!

Post party at Heineken hosted event that took place for a big football (soccer) game. We were invited through our friend Panos!
