Today started off fun. We eventually went for our second dose of the fake market. I was on a mission to get a fake Rolex watch as I didn’t have a watch with me on the trip. It was a lot of fun talking these guys down from 1350Y down to less than 100Y (about 15 bucks Canadian.) Amy and Jen made many more purchases than I did, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of you. I just don’t think I could leave china without classically flouting IP in some way or another. A quick Google search tells me that legit versions of this watch are going for 4 to 22 thousand USD.
It was our last night in Shanghai, Jen and I fly to Bangkok tomorrow, Amy will follow a day later. We went to the Oriental Perl Tower or something… the third highest tower in the world next to the CN and whatever was recently built to best it. The view was quite nice and it was nice to see Shanghai at night like that before we left.
Now we are packing up at the apartment, eating all of Amy’s leftover food before taking off tomorrow.
Oh, and how could I forget: Amy bought me a tasty treat at the Haggen Dazs store. It was called “Emotion in Coffee” and it was fan-freaking-tastic.
Keep in mind, we are heading away from guaranteed wifi now. I will do my best to blog when I have a connection, but I don’t know what that will be like from here on out.
Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the latest tallest building 828 m tall. Hope your flight goes well and that you find the heat and sun you are after. I also hope you are able to find some internet acess as I have really been enjoying the updates.
Have fun, Dad!
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke was a busy man this weekend.
Burke shook up his slumping club by shipping out six players Sunday in exchange for former all-star defenceman Dion Phaneuf from the Calgary Flames and goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere from the Anaheim Ducks.
Heading to the Flames are defenceman Ian White and forwards Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman and Jamal Mayers, while goalie Vesa Toskala and winger Jason Blake are headed to Anaheim.
In the Calgary deal, the Leafs also acquired six-foot-six defenceman Keith Aulie and winger Fredrik Sjostrom.
Now that sounds like my kind of ice-cream!!!
Enjoy the next stage Cody!!!
Keep having fun and lots of exploring…we’ll catch up with you when we can.
Enjoy Bangkok, check out the Jade Buddah and the floating market. Be prepared for lots of traffic.
enjoy!
Yikes…loss of contact…my morning coffee won’t be the same…maybe I will have to take up eating Haggen Dazs to get over it. Had my early morning swim…foggy but bright this a.m. here in the valley. The boys have had their breakfast and are laying here satisfied that all is right in the world. Enjoy your upcoming adventures. Enjoy a few rays for me. Love you my boy. Get a watch tan! Musha
OK, fine. You’re officially a better blogger than me Mr. Updates-every-day!
I’m still hanging out in Shanghai at the moment, chillin with my right-hand woman, the ayi. She’s being very chatty this morning, I guess I only understand about one third of what she’s saying.
Hope you guys made it to Bangkok alright, if you happen to get online and check this tonight, send me a line to let me know that you made it.

Awesome you have a blog!! But I suppose you knew that already. Happy to hear you’re having a great time and lots of adventures. The Cave just isn’t the same without you; I smile fondly every time I see your push pin “T CAVE” on the bulletin board. Too bad there are no more push pins or we could make that “T” into an elegant “TIN”. Then the cave would be made out of tin, which would be more fun than concrete and drywall because if you threw stuff at the walls it would make an amusing sound. I suppose you have already said your farewells to Paul but I still think he would be a decent companion for Blinky when you’re gone.
Lost one in Montreal, even though they out shot the canadians.
