Sat here waiting for Godot, or is that the Police, to try and see if they can explain the actions of the CPS so whilst I wait will return to more positive things like Shanghai on a Saturday in November, when I meet up with my most regular student and his wife and had lunch out with them. Just a perfect way to find out more about Shanghai, we went to the lovely museum there and saw the porcelain, interestingly they had never been there before and then we ate dumpings. In the afternoon I tried to find the home of Zhou Enlai, near Fuxing Park, but instead found a charming tea room. Very extravagant, tea and cheesecake for 100 yuan but just what I needed.
Sunday morning I rose early and just a steady if relatively small group of people nevertheless heading purposefully to the river side in time to see the 7 am start of the Shanghai marathon. As 25000 feet shuffled by a lone handclap echoed through the streets, locals looked askance at me, as I tried to get them to join in, but the runners smiled and thanked me. I have no idea if by the end of the race they were greeted with loud sounds and applause as by then I was waiting for the overnight train to Xian.
