Saturday Karaoke and Nightclub



We went karaoke singing on Saturday evening, followed by two nightclubs, followed by a hotpot dinner.  The Dragon Lady's brother invited us to karaoke.  We were expecting a karaoke bar but we got a private room for the five of us to sing our lungs out, and eat, and sing, and eat.  Partyzone in Shanghai was great.  Here we are at the nightclub after dancing on the stage and moshing with the locals.

Hunan Cuisine



Last night the Dragon Lady (Ping) treated us to a Hunan dinner. Fish, spinach (kinda, sorta), and some crunchy awesome veggie dishes. Fantastic! Hunan cuisine is spicey, but not as spicey as Szechuan.

Shanghai Fedex

The Shanghai Fedex is a little antiquated. A fleet of cyclists pack items onto their bikes in white parcels. It's slow but effective.  See video.

Shanghai Nights



Here's a Shanghai evening photo from The Bund of the TV Tower and river. The smog in Shanghai is not as bad as Beijing, but it's worse than L.A. Some days it's quite clear. Most days it's the same as in this photo. There are some great places to eat on The Bund that overlook this very view. Our favorite is M on The Bund.
