Finally en route home, but stuck in Shanghai for a long, unplanned layover due to air travel transfer messiness. Hoping to get out today.

Hence the time again to type. Once the photo festival got going there was a lot less time for the blogs, especially considering the tedious iPhone typing, limited capacity for photos (also limited to the phone), and roundabout posting methods. But watch for a full report (including a lot more photos but from a real camera, some video, and maybe even some audio) that I’m working on for Orion that will at least be online at orionmagazine.org. I’ll post a link here too for anyone who cares.

…all assuming I ever make it home. At least there was a ‘Cheerway Easy Go!’ in the checkin lounge where I could pass the time.

For lunch: jellyfish, something we thought might be turtle, shrimp with all their parts, tasty root veggies of unknown sorts with fried fat, crab guts, and, oh, French, albeit ‘cabernet merlot’ red wine.
