At some point I need to post a few things from my trip to China

In no particular order:

• The Saga of The Trip Home in text messages and international phone calls
• I ATE A BIRD FOOT and other adventures in cuisine
• Traffic!
• OMG crowded sidewalks at 02:00???
• Some other stuff that escapes me at this moment

So, yeah. Pester me about it, would you?

The Red Phone

It isn’t plumb.

Pre-flight snax

Shrimp dumplings and a frosty Tsing Tao before I start the trek home.

Long light, time for a rest

He looks up every 15–20 seconds to check if the signal has changed.

 

 

Aahhhhh....

Finally, a hint of springtime.

When Penny Racers grow up

 

Yay more rain

One day of part sun in a row, guess we can’t be too picky.

 

 

Hello, old friend :-)

Nice to see you after a pretty long absence.

Evidence of sun!

Scant though it is, the glint off Grand Gateway is most welcome.

Whimsical tickets

There’s a certain charming whimsy to the cuteness that, to my eye, pervades a lot of Asian culture. Maybe we in America need a bit more silly in our daily lives, eh wot?

Foggy day

The high-rise offices of Grand Gateway disappearing into the mists.

Foggy day at Grand Gateway, Xujiahui, Xuhui District, Shanghai, China
