They let me take photographs, and I think the card helps.<br /><br />It may not help in an urban environment.Gallowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411525692992307611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-4375281933843278832009-09-19T14:33:47.941-04:002009-09-19T14:33:47.941-04:00Just wondering:

And rumors are that it will get nothing but worse with China and India having 800 new coal-fired power plants on the drawing board between them.<br /><br />I'd have let the guy rant and bring back his reinforcements myself. As a paying guest, assuming you didn't break into the restaurant, it's not as if you're trespassing. And the worst that can happen? Well, okay, it <i>is</i> another country where the customs and rules are different, but even so. If the dining room was open -- and I assume it was -- someone staying in the hotel should have access to it. It'd be a different matter if you'd just wandered in off the street, but you didn't. I'd have had to try and bluff it anyway. I guess my "American" is showing, eh?<br /><br />I didn't get Shanghai, but I <i>did</i> get Newark, which from where I'm sitting is only less urban by virtue of size.<br /><a href="http://mojo11.blogspot.com/2009/09/thematic-photographic-67-urban-v30.html" rel="nofollow">Thematic Photographic 67: "Urban" v.3.0 - About As Urban As It Gets</a><br /><br />Oh, and in case I forgot to mention it, I also threw you a <a href="http://mojo11.blogspot.com/2009/09/photographically-challenged-13-995-mach.html" rel="nofollow">"bone"</a> this morning. ;)Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-69380839346829720442009-09-18T19:56:52.115-04:002009-09-18T19:56:52.115-04:00A co-worker is from Shanghai and misses it greatly...A co-worker is from Shanghai and misses it greatly. It's funny that he ended up in small town Belleville. He once told me he likes a city that never sleeps. My other co-worker went there last year to visit his older brother who was teaching English there. He was struck by the noise..particularly the honking. What did you think?NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06411419545912589126noreply@blogger.com
