arrived in shanghai. we're staying at the historic Peace Hotel, unthinkable by my $10/day standards, but i'm starting to get use to our swank 1930's art deco accomodations. the place was built back then by baghdad jewish rich-dude Victor Sassoon, who made a lot of money in opium, i hear, and then bought basically all of shanghai. the place is pretty well preserved; the "Old Jazz Bar" downstairs is like a scene out of the movie "Shanghai Triad".
just went to a yonghe (their logo is the asian colonel sanders, it's funny) to fill up on noodles and soup dumplings; now it's time to sleep off my jetlag with a full belly. ok.
