the valet parking is a nice touch and the buffet brekkie for 55kuai is pretty good value

in search of the smallest possible road, the trick seems to be just keep turning onto smaller roads than the one you are on. so i took this one

Love the valet parking trick. I do that all the time at five-star hotels here in Shanghai, but on my Giant Khan bicycle. Always good for a few laughs, and I love coming out of the hotel with my parking redemption ticket and asking for my bike back.Quote:
