somehow

everything, and by everything i mean all the good websites, is magically working in china today! that is fun stuff. figured that would be a great excuse for me to post some photos... so without further and before sites get shut back down...

wanted to get up some pics from shanghai where i started off the trip two and a half weeks ago. such a great city, and with something like 19.5 million residents, you are sure to find some friends. we did it fancy in shanghai, nice hotel, nice restaurants, etc. heaps of fun and a great city to start a visit to china with.
here the old guard of shanghai from back when the britts ruled the world.

"you want watch? you want dvd?" it is absolutely mind boggling to me the mutlilingual abilities of the common street hustler in china. what it also does is make me feel like an idiot for my four word chinese vocab.
