The last couple of days were a bit of a washout all together, mainly due to the stinging hangover from Ed's birthday... Thursday, woke up late, watched two bad films in the Pathfinder and then Scary Movie 4, on the Friday, watched Mr Bean on Holiday (liked it but had to cringe at how Americanized it had been made, Cheesy ending... aggh!) booked my train and then helped a random aussie guy to try and get some money out of his account... adviced Western Union, but some how he still couldn't get any dosh... god know's what he was doing wrong!

Got on the trin in the evening , got my usual free grub from the locals on my Hard Seat... this time it was some pink grapefruit type thing and then some Beef Jerky Substitute... yes in that order... i also watched 5 people playing a card game with 2 packs.... must have watched about 10 games and still had no idea what was going on... no order by the looks of it, shit loads of cards... big rants at the end... was gonna ask how to play.... but decided against it!

Great time overall in Shanghai.... didn't see a great deal of the place... but saw enough... traveling is not just about seeing 100 great Bagoda's!

Glad i'm not in England next Summer: Euro 2008 exit... nightmare!


Next entry: Back to being the only Westerner in town...
