Shanghai Sept08 - 3 -

OK,  i put up the event's pictures from our Shanghai trip... now here's some of 'the rest':


We took 'Shanghai Airlines' up... it wasn't too bad except  the food wasn't so great...  
the noodles came with this package of vegetables.  I wasn't sure exactly what it was:

Oh well if its commendatoried,  it must be good!

(note, after searching google, it seems like 'commendatoried' is an actual word that exists only in China!  I'm guessing everyone's learning from the same bad book? Probably someone was trying to make a verb out of the adjective 'commendatory'... )

Actually after the meal they tried to serve some sort of dairy product (i think it was yogurt?)  needless to say, I didn't try it! :-P


I'm not sure if I'm allowed to blog about this or not,  but just in case I won't name any names... but how many of you know what this is?


Feel the Breeze!  

Before Andrew's show we had a fancy dinner.   Unfortunately almost all the fancy stuff was all seafood, so I didn't partake in much:

Some people apparently find this quite appetizing! :-P


Andrew doesn't look nervous at all, does he?


After the show:

Most of us stuck around after the performance to celebrate and to chat:



A few photo ops too:




Of course as with any glamorous event, lots of ladies around:

some beautiful cake enjoying ladies....    ;-)

Oh yeah,  I should mention, there was a birthday cake:







ps - some drama on the way out -

whats worse than belligerent drunk people? belligerent ex-pats! whats worse than belligerent ex-pats?  belligerent ex-pats who can't fight trying to fight with chinese guys who can't fight!

my personal favorite part, when the tall french guy tried to do a flying jump kick and ended up falling flat on his back on the ground.  Luckily no one was hurt too badly and the Chinese guys took off in a taxi before the police showed up.
