it's 11:30pm, i just arrived at my friends' apartment in shanghai after a hectic day of getting packed up in hong kong and then catching the evening flight out here. after a long taxi ride, i've arrived at their place just in time to celebrate the last 30 minutes of the 4th of july with my friends from the states.
this year there aren't any fireworks or hot dogs to be had, but there is a bottle of veuve clicquot from the airport duty-free store, and excellent company to share it with. i couldn't ask for much more.
