Shanghai Bob

I spent Saturday walking the length of Huaihai Road, where trucker hats are apparently in style

…and exploring XuJiaHui, where girls in cheerleader outfits were passing out beer.

In the evening I got an hour-long foot massage for $7. The masseuse had knuckles like ball-peen hammers. The 30% of the time that she spent on the soles of my feet really hurt! I’m going to have to learn how to say, “Take it easy” in Chinese.

I also found my first submission to engrish.com: a cookie called “Coque D’Asses”, in vanilla and chocolate flavors. The package is written in Japanese, so this might be a popular import.
