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.
