The depredations of the Magical Dragon Gecko God of
Gastrointestinal Disease had caused us to delay our departure to Shanghai by a
day. Let me introduce you to our latest version of the Asian discount airline,
Juneayo. This airline specializes in minimalist communication. We left early
for the airport in Hong Kong which of course ensures there will be no delays checking
in and then had a 4-5 hour air traffic control (yes the Magical Unicorn Pony
God of Travel is affecting us too) so effectively we spent the entire day at
the airport and didn’t get into our hotel in Shanghai until 9:30 PM.
The hotel is on a major commercial road with high-rise
offices that one would recognize from any major metropolitan city in the world.
As it was 10 PM everything on the street eating wise was closed up. But just
one block in back of the hotel, the real Asia returned with life in progress
and all kinds of eateries open. We chose one just because we were tired. We’re
not sure of what the concept was – something like food cooked on a stick and
served with the stick protruding from a bowl of broth but it was good and
satisfying.
