riding in Shanghai

Tokyo, 2009.11.13

A lot of people haven't asked what it's like to ride on the streets of Shanghai. So I'll tell you.

It's like this.

In all seriousness, our motorcycle tour was nothing like this. But our taxi ride in from the monorail station sure was!

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
