Hey Dan, I just wanted to drop a line and tell you I really like your blog. Last year I got the chance to spend a month in Shanghai for work, and will now be going back often. I wish I would have found your site before my trip, I would have killed for a good hot dog halfway through my trip! Anyway, it’s good to get some insight on Shanghai from someone with similar interests and not some nerdy expat or over-the-hill business man. Thanks.
I am not in this photo (the one seen above). This is Shamus, editor of Shanghai Talk, and our friend Louise (who, by the way, I think looks more like ballerina Tan Yuan Yuan than Zhang Ziyi).
Dan Washburn: International Man of Mystery. Yeah Baby! Oh Behave.
I’ve got to try the tux thing. Great post.

Hilarious as always Dan. You are right of course, a tuxedo always gets you better service. I once was in a situation where I stopped by a Wal-mart of all places in formal attire(was coming back home from something important) to get some passport photos taken. Let it be known, the usual slack jawled surly glares of the Wal-mart employee was awed by yours truly.

I always enjoy your writing. You are honest, ane full of humor.
Just wonder, how you make a living, with your pretty girlfriend in Shanghai ?

Who’s the girl in the picture? She looks like Tan Yuan Yuan…
Nah, Zhang Ziyi with another five years.

There might be some confusion regarding photos.
