When a good friend says, "Come to Shanghai" and offers a place to stay -- not to mention that said good friend, who's been living there for three years, is leaving the country for good in a matter of weeks -- you tend to want to say, "OK." Which is what I did, which is why, by the time you're reading this, I'll be on a 14-hour plane ride to one of the craziest cities in the world. It is, however, a working vacation, or rather a vacation during which I'll be working. There are plans for some Shanghai-specific content (more on that later), but for the most part the blog will go on, business as usual, with the caveat that content may be showing up at odd times thanks to the 12-hour time difference between Shanghai and the East Coast of the U.S.
Translation: same bat channel, pretty much, but the bat timing may be a bit off for the next week.
