What do you call the confluence of the Mike’s marathon birthday celebration, Steve Xu’s return to the motherland, Wil’s 2nd visit to China, and a Thanksgiving murder mystery dinner? A turkey of a blog, since there has been almost absolutely no time for me to sit down and try to be clever for this site.
The end is almost here, though. Wil’s leaving tomorrow, and although he *gasp* didn’t show any interest in buying DVDs, he did seem to enjoy doing the standard Shanghai tourist fare: eat lots of food, drink lots of booze, and buy lots of fake clothes. Steve will be here until next Thursday, which probably means a few more sleepless nights and lots of coffee at work. I need to steel myself, which is why I’ve stuck two AA batteries up my ass instead of the usual one I have up there for kicks.
I knew November was going to be tough, but didn’t know it was going to be this rough on both the mind and body. Still, I am thankful for all this action and activity and even hubris that has been circling around my life the past few weeks, and in that spirit of giving thanks, I’d like to share with you all a picture of my Thanksgiving day meal at Shanghai Uncle. Since all the Western joints in town were gleefully fleecing the American expat population with 300-400 RMB turkey dinners, I and my other cheapskate friends tried to go Chinese style with our bird: crispy duck stuffed with glutinous rice instead of turkey with stuffing.
Bird Flu Much?
