Ch 44: Eve
Dec. 24
I spend Christmas eve dinner at Just Grapes a brilliant wine store with a private dining loft rented out by a friend of mine and his business partners. Turkey was the last thing I expected to have in Shanghai. I skipped the mashed potatoes as my body is now 42% potato from spending three months in England! It was fun to celebrate Christmas with Americans (and one Aussie). I even introduced the Oxonian tradition of “Sconcing” to everyone- with very interesting results>=).
Afterwards I ventured off into the night (as is common custom in Shanghai). FuXing park was the area of choice for Christmas revelers. Park 97 was OK and a friend had a table there- we also met up with another group of friends who just happened to be upstairs. Quality travels in packs I suppose =)
After a few delicious glasses of whiskey & green tea we made our way to the other lounge in the park -
