You can brew your own, and it's far superior to commercial swill. PM me.

Shanghai (No-)Bike Night
Tuesday 10 January (yes, that's today)
9 p.m.
Jackie's Beer Nest 杰克的酒窝
82 Zhaozhou Lu, Luwan District
卢湾区肇周路82号
It's just off Xizang Nan Lu, south of Fuxing Zhong Lu. Hefei Lu actually turns into Zhaozhou Lu, strangely enough. If you see the E-Mart, it's across the street and another 50m to the west.
If you need further directions, call Jackie at 138 1650 2260.

Very sorry for the short notice!

cheers

Calling all Shanghai denizens!

Some of you may recall that Andre555 of Kunming recently extricated himself from China's clutches and rebased himself with his wife and infant to Germany. But he's here in Shanghai this week visiting his wife's hometown, and we've been trying to schedule a meetup. Limited time offer, and I'm proposing tomorrow (Thursday) evening for drinks and perhaps more for our MCM merry band. If you plan to drink, kindly leave your steed at home. It's going to be raining anyway...

One possible venue would be the Dongbei dumpling place at Tianzifang where we feted Lulu a couple of months back, on Jianguo Lu just east of Ruijin Nan Lu. Great food and cheap beer, with the option of stumbling upstairs to Kaiba Tap Room for real beers afterwards.

I'll be thirsty by six.

Any takers? Let's show André some love!

cheers!

Darn, darn, darn this rain!

I would love to join you guys to meet you for the first time, but tomorrow Thursday end of day is the day I am supposed to go pick up my plated bike at the registration office (already been postponed for a technical issue, dealership had to issue a new ownership certificate). So I will have to pass on this first opportunity to put faces to the names. Raincheck. Horrible pun.

But boy, I am so p.o.'ed. My first ride in Shanghai on a bike that I have no experience on, and it has to be in the friggin rain!!! Darn, darn and darn again. This is begging for sh*t to happen.

The only bright spot is that I live in HongQiao, only a 10 min slow ride from the registration office on Hami Lu. I guess I will just have to go reeeaaal slow, even if it takes me half an hour. With a bit of luck, it will not be raining at that particular time (five-ish). If it is, then I might wait it out or even walk the bike.

Any tips? Yes I know, avoid the white markings on the ground. Any others?

Leaving my bike there (or anywhere) overnight is not an option. I'd rather walk the effing bike.

Dear DipStick,

What time are you doing this pickup? Would be happy to come join you, if only to give moral support!

cheers!

Mighty generous of you, Euph!

Unfortunately, I do not have an exact time yet. Our vehicle person at work said she will let me know around noon at what time in the afternoon the bike will be ready (she is the one dealing with the fixer). I requested that it be at about 5pm, which would barely allow me to leave work downtown at about 4pm, get home, drop the suit and get in gear, and either have my wife drive me there or take a cab. (On a related note, I just measured the distance on Google Earth: it's only 1.7 km from the reg office to my compound.)

However, at this point, I have not had any confirmation that his scheduling works for the fixer. I would hate to have you come for nothing if another stupid delay occurs (you would not believe the crappy reason why we had to delay from the original schedule of Tuesday this week!).

How about this: I will take you up on your kind offer, but let's get in touch in late morning so that I can update you on whether and when the pick-up is happening tomorrow. I'll PM you my mobile number.

Cheers,

DipStick
