day 4

merry xmas.

i was pretty sore and tired from the massage on day 3. the result: i got great night's sleep.

we woke up late and had a long day for day 4. the bus ride to lunch was long but i saw a lot of the city.

this was a very trying day for me. my bladder decided to turn into the size of a walnut and i had to look for public restrooms all day. i learned the hard way that i do not find the smell of septic tanks very pleasing.

anyways, click below for day 4 pics and captions:

one note about china: i can blog in china and post pics in china but i can't view my blog because the communist blocks it.
I left for Shanghai from LA on Friday, December 21 at 12:30 pm and arrived in Shanghai 14 hours later at 7 PM on Saturday or something like that.

i will be here until january 4th.

Lowlights of the trip: getting dehydrated from the AC and long flight.
Highlights of the trip: reading my magazines and watching Ocean's 13, Last Shot and the Wild Wild West on the plane. I don't know why they played Wild West on the plane but now I have a deeper meaning of the song "Wild Wild West" and know where Will Smith was coming from when he wrote that song. Stevie Wonder's ears are still bleeding after Will Smith sampled his song "I Wish" for Wild Wild West.

This will link you to Day 1 and Day 2 of my adventure in Shanghai thus far:

The Yuan to Dollar ration is 7 to 1. So basically I'm rich over here. It's ridiculous.
