Hello from Shanghai, China

I've got a few days off work so i'm here for a bit of a holiday. It's raining, people here aren't as polite compared to Japan, and the internet sucks. But it's not so bad. Looking forward to seeing the place in daylight tomorrow.

Try not to breathe the air.

Trev,

I am thinking of going there for a holiday for a few days as well as Tokyo and Beijing. Do you recommend it?

The pollution is unbelievable.

Smogtastic

"Jew's ear" was on my dinner menu last night. I opted for the spicy chicken.....

Feck, i'm having trouble getting cricinfo live scores to work. What do the Chinese sensors have against live cricket?

Flaming Bails has "slipped under the radar" as a place where free speech is encouraged and given.......It's working fine.

I hope you're not SPITTING hair's trev.

with a surplus of a few hundred million blokes (an unintended consequence of the only sensible social policy of our time - the one child policy), I expect Trev might make a quid on his hols

How are the hotels like Henry ?

Try the double boiled frog's oviduct ...

Just got back from lunch with an old aquaintance. Still raining. Shanghai isn't being shown in a very good light at the moment. The architecture is nice, though. There's a European feel to the place, obviously as a result of history. There's more westerners here than Tokyo, as well.

The hotel i'm staying in is nice, but customer service (Apart from at my hotel) is crap. They're a bit rude and dismissive. We waved at a waitress to take our order, she looked at us, then walked in the other direction, before returning 5 minutes later.

Going out tonight. Should be a bit of a bender.

I suggest you take your cue from this guy.

Meh, most chinese girls just aren't as attractive as Jap girls, imo. And i'm meeting up with a Jap ex tonight. I'll get a few drinks into her and see what happens......

So Flaming Bails is working in the PRC (Why they didn't go the whole hog and say "Democratic People's" is beyond me, but hey) at the moment. HMMNNN..........

Well Hitler didn't understand cricket either and the CHINESE LEADERSHIPhave superiority complexes that make the Nazis look like wallflowers.

They should take a bex and admit that the rest of the world only tolerate the PAEDOPHILIOCRACY.

While they're at it the Chinese Communist Party should act like one and redistribute the wealth. Allowing the PEASANTS to VOTE might help lower their standing on the BARBARIAN ratings.

Leaving TIBET alone and inviting the DALAI LAMA to hold a prayer ceremony in TIANENMAN SQUARE would also be a GREAT LEAP FORWARD instead of continuing a LONG MARCH to pariah hood.

FALUN GONG forever.

Rise up you poor oprressed people, tear down the electronic walls the brainless gorms of the Politburo have built around you and light a torch, not for the self agrandising MONSTERS who style themselves your leaders, but for DEMOCRACY evrywhere.

One of the unfortunate things about countries that are new to tourism... Those who serve you tend to act the way they really feel, and most seem to be wearing shoes that pinch them.

The Japanese must be the weirdest people in the world.

Trev fits in well then.

Much nicer (and cleaner) than subis, but . . . .

Not met many, (only one, who was normal), but their TV shows, animes and general news documentaries make them look decidedly strange and, er, childish.

F*ck, that's Henry against a wall as the chief guest in a firing squad party.

Henry? You there? Henry?

What kind of sad c*nt goes on a holiday to a foreign country, then desperately tries to find somewehre to forum? F*ckin hell Trev, you're a more desperate and lonely prick than I thought.

Now, as for FB slipping under the Chinese radar...
