Home

Last day in China. Games are over and the team is leaving with Gold. We had an 8pm flight out of Shanghai so after checking out of the hotel in Changshu we took the team bus into Shanghai and hit up the fakes market for all your shopping needs. Coach bags, Beats by Dre headphones and all sorts of other stuff. It was a quick stop but being the savvy veterans in our second trip to Shanghai, we got it all done.

12 hour flight home, lots of movies. Flight stayed interesting with a good amount of turbulence and a busted water pipe which lead to flooding from the bathroom into first class.

It's great to be back. I'm pretty sure that everyone did the same thing when they left the airport, Mexican food, shower and sleep.

It's been real China. Thumbs up to the freshest smells of California beaches and shrimp tacos. Next stop, London in July.
