Shanghai's neon spectacular certainly rivals Times Square. We walked through the blare of colour and the crowds on a busy Saturday night to try to catch the acrobats - who were having the night off.
On the way we fell in with a South African 'hostess' for the British Jaguar F1 team, here to find English food and an Irish pub ready for the driver's arrival for next week's race - so we learned of the Jag's departure from Coventry from this unlikely source. Crossing our fingers that the knock-on effects won't cost any of our friends their jobs.
No acrobats, but an interesting stroll past all kinds of provision
for wealthy people, followed by the week's most expensive meal
(pizza). We strolled down this alley:
- but the internet cafe we
were looking for turned out to be a bar for over-18s, so we had to
content ourselves with leafing through the latest DVD's available for
80p each - Princess Diaries 2, I Robot, Ocean's Twelve: and lots of
art-house and world cinema - get your orders in now for our visit to
Beijing's DVD markets ...!
