The Travel Camel

Schadenfreude
Dare I admit to laughing out loud at your observations of the disrespectful monologue you were subjected to in a French restaurant (including your excellent undelivered reply), the "ritualized dullness" of the expat network, the various approaches by females peddling their wares, and at the reaction to your decision of eating in the cheaper downstairs dining area. A witty, eloquent ("Expectations can be treacherous things sometimes" should be a Chinese proverb) blog with wonderful photos inside the Shanghai Museum - particularly the camel ones of course.
