I discovered that when I started walking most mornings after last summer. I often bump into expats living in the other compounds like shimao lakeside, willowbrook etc. The guards should work harder at throwing out cars that do not belong to the residence though. There are too many of them using our gardens as a shortcut between Jinqiao and Zhangjiang. And I've also discovered that if you are white you get easier access to the gardens because they usually assume you live there. See you around!Beau Lotus 涟https://www.blogger.com/profile/07357356510646043072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21346417.post-34016996656830184512013-02-20T23:50:00.997+01:002013-02-20T23:50:00.997+01:00Hi -

Unless you are visiting the restaurants or a guest, we really don't want many random people from throughout the city walking around. <br /><br />I have actually seen the guards kick people out who had come and wanted to stroll around. They weren't visiting anyone and had no purpose there. Afterall, this is a gated community. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
