Ch 36: Beware the Fun Places!
Back in Shanghai. Back on the frontier of the 21st century economy. 
There's an ad on the official Shanghai map that reads "Shanghai is the new center of the world, and xyz company is in the center of Shanghai". If this town is the new center of the world then I would have to say that this new world we are all living in is a very different place then the old one we came from. Different can bring challenges and opportunities. Where there is great change you will find great opportunity. Or just weird stuff.
Take for example the English "safety" guide in every room at my hotel. There's quite an extensive list of 20 odd tips, here are my top three:
3.) "Be on alert against any knock on the door from strangers"
2.) "No Fighting" (it's the new wild west baby!)
1.) "Follow no strangers to the fun places"
(I laughed out loud when I read the last one.) Beware of strangers, fighting, and the "fun places". Got it. Oh China! Gotta love it.
