Greetings from the Bates motel.. or something close. I’ve had an interestingly uninteresting day// I spent the whole day going appropriately 19 miles. Through a set of mistakes on the part of me, the hotel. the taxis and the airlines, .. ultimately around the cancellation of my flight to Tokyo, I find myself spending another night here in Shanghai.. I’m bummed too, because I was planning on visiting my friend Sebastian and his family in Tokyo..this evening.. oh well..

the goodish thing about it is that China East air is actually putting us all up in a hotel about 20 min from the airport.. and they fed us too !. There are about 50 of us that will seep here .. then catch an early morning flight to narita.. We’re still not sure exactly when that will be, which is a little weird .

The hotel is not bad at al1.. but they made us each pay an 120 RMB surcharge if we didn’t want to share a room with a stranger >.. they fed us.. though it was nearly all meat.. what I could eat (rice and veggies ) was quite good. it was fun hanging out with my co-strandees.. I met a guy named Michael from Australia.. but everyone else seems to be from here or from japan.. I spent some time exploring the hotel .. nice enough, the hotel seems empty except for stranded travelers..

found soem great examples of Chinglish.. but hey.. they do a million times better doing our language, right or wrong.. then we would do with theres !
