Oh Shanghai,

Dear roommates,

the flying pig is now back in Jiading, Shanghai. Today he has experienced a driver who didn’t want to take money for driving him and xiaohu to the airport, a Chinese gentleman who smoked on the airplane, riding the Maglev train no faster than 301km/h, taken a bus on the Cao An highway (which is now finished, but still as slow because of the traffic lights), taken a public shower with Chinese soon to be men, living in the bachelors four person dormitory, eating non-spicy Hui Guo Rou and surfing with a faster internet connection! Still censored but that’s ok. Just Relakksing. 

Tomorrow your dear friend will experience the Chinese bureaucracy and his patience will be tested once again, when it’s time to register, get a room, get a internet connection to the room and all the queuing in between. On friday he will be further tested as he will make an attempt of getting a residence permit. Hell will break loose any day now…

Yours truly
the flying pig, enjoying and loving his dear Pig’s Republic of Zhongguo!
