O.k. O.k. time to get this up to date.
We flew into Shanghai sometime in the evening and I was at first intimidated and frightened then excited and then strangely aroused. Shanghai is big, like New York big but fucking bigger. We drove into the city from the airport at night. Think Blade Runner meets Star Wars meets dirt poor street venders selling t-shirt, bag, dvd, watch and you might get the picture. Seriously, the only English that was spoken was an attempt to sell knock-off goods in little holes carved into the sides of giant skyscrapers--"(the first thing to learn son is how to say) watch (then you will move to) Hand-bag (and then finally) DVD"--find of sad but hey money is money and any westerner is rich according to Chinese misconceptions.
Our hotel was located above a men's clothing store:
The hotel's kitchen had fish on display. I think it was either like a picture menu or they were like "hey look how cool we are, we have fish
I wanted to eat him!
Besides all the venders, Shanghai was filled with wonder there was a McDonald's, a KFC, and a Pizza Hut! For the most part McDonald's and KFC looked the same, but the Pizza Hut, man that was ritzy--black ties and everything! We went looking for this place called something-something garden and got lost, we got confused because we were looking for an actual garden when in-actuality the place was the shopping center we had wandered into. In an attempt to find some kind of wireless network I had stumbled across "Internet Cafe" that was filled with teenage kids smoking cigarettes and playing WOW, go figure.
Creep, isn't it?
And then there was this guy:
Crazy Dancing Guy, someone was playing a saxophone on a balcony but this guy stole the show(my video wouldn't upload so just use some imagination will ya!)
