Time for my acrobat show, mr nitwit picks me up and tells me NOT to talk to the hookers outside my hotel this is you last night and you dont want to do business with them Into a taxi and over to this other big beautiful hotel, the show is being preformed in their lounge. Nitwit gives me my ticket and asks will you be all right finding your seat? Can I walk through a door,down an aisle and put my ass in a seat, is that what you are asking me??? I find my seat and sit my ass in it. About 500 seats in here and maybe 300 people? The show starts, a guy on a rope 20 feet above the stage holding a girl with his feet, couple of big guys juggleing this huge ceramic pots, 2 guys throwing knives which was pretty funny, the young guy was standing there, not a care in the world when he realized the older guy wearing a blindfold was going to throw a knife at him. one older lady slowly dancing and flicking playing cards into the audience? this is your act?.(I ended up getting the 7 of hearts) Ok show is over and Im going to catch a taxi back to my hotel. there are 2 lines for taxis one for the hotels guests which is in front of my line after 30 minutes and not moving an inchI say fack this and I go get a pizza and walk down to the main street. Guys on motorcycles want to give me a lift...ah no thanks, finally I flag down a taxi, back to my hotel, there seems to be a problem regarding my change?. Ok I flying home tomorrow afternoon so I have a few hours to take a last look around shanghai, Ill walk down to the Bund, it is only 5-6 blocks straight down the street in front of my hotel,no problem. I walk about 4 blocks and see sitting on the sidewalk between 2 packed cars a woman staring out into traffic, she is wearing filthing rags, no shoes, looks like she has been crushed she even had a hole right through her left cheek, I never saw anyone so down trodden she was NOT asking for money or anyting like that but she needed help. I felt bad but I kept walking. I get to the Bund check out all these hotels and old banks again. There is a huge riverside walkway, lots of people around, lots of little stores to buy a Buddha statue for some people? The Pudong river is FULL of boats and barges, Mr Nitwit said the river getting cleaner, sometimes seagulls swim in it?? I go back to my hotel, I promise myself Ill give money to that poor woman.. she wasnt there. I pack up my stuff and wait for my lift to the airport. A couple of weeks earlier a guy I was traveling with said I had to take this high speed train from downtown shanghai to the airport, I tell nitwit this is what I want to do. ohh this is going to be a problem!, We get to the train station I go to get my suitcase from the cars trunk, he said NO, he will bring it with him and meet me at the airport?? sure lets make this as complicated as possible! This train goes 400 km an hour, I aint kidding! it is magnetic lift, I meet ol nitwit for the last time to get my case back.He has to he me check in? As Im waiting for my flight to Vancouver I start thinking spend a ton of money to go somewhere stupid! I t get home with my 4 porcelain in one piece
