Observations

-On the internet here I cannot access Wikipedia or any blogs (on Blogger) directly. However, I can blog (obviously) and I can view blog posts through Google Reader. Fascinating.

-In Beijing, I used nothing but 1 kuai notes, but in Shanghai I was confronted by the 1 kuai coin. Smart move Shanghai, you're ahead of the curve. Coins stay in circulation a lot longer and are actually easier to deal with in the long run.

-Tonight I saw Nick perform in a Chinese punk rock Battle of the Bands. Suffice it to say that these kids love cross-dressing and throwing panties around on stage (and wearing panties outside of their pants like Superman). Nick is the one with the hooded sweatshirt. Also, note the MAN in the blue wig.
