Day 10 - Yousef and Nana arrive in Shanghai

As soon as Nana and Yousef arrived in Shanghai they ended up in a police station. Their taxi driver was arrested and they had to sign statements to convict the driver. I will not go into any details why the driver was arrested as it not very important.
He didn't even last 1 hour in china
Yousef traded ciggies with the officer
As soon we all got reunited in the hotel we immediately left because Nana had to go shopping. The market we went to was only 10min walk away so we headed out on foot (Yousef was not happy).

Yousef taking a break after we walked 2 mins
most stores sold similar items

20 minutes and $300 later

For lunch we went to the Duck King ( recommended by the locals ). This place was supposed to have the best duck in Shanghai. The duck was not better than Dadong in Beijing it didn't even come close.

It took Yousef 10 mins to explain to the non English speaking waitress that he wanted some coke and then another 20 mins to get some ice. Yousef is making hand movements and the lady is looking at him like what the fuck is this guy doing.


Gorgeous duck fat
Roast pork neck
Fried eel
Chicken wing hot pot
The duck was cooked in a wood oven
Yousef finally got his coke and ice
We didn't order any fresh seafood because the fish were sleeping
More sleeping fish


At night we went to the Bund on the water. It was so fucking hot and it stank like shit and this made Communist Vince not happy at all.
We walked back to the hotel through Nanjing road (almost empty at this time of the night)
If it wasnt for the smell we might of tried some of this food (also Communist Vince was not happy)




Thats all for now...
