Shanghai F1 Booze Bus!

As we chanted, "Booze Bus! Booze Bus! Booze Bus!..." The bus pulled out of Sasha's Restaurant at 8:30am sharp! Luckily I got there at about 8:26 or so. An all day beer & racing session it was, and a nightmare for some the next day I'm sure!

Anyways, here are some of the pics:

And while we're at it... here's a LINK (damn blog won't let me embed from metacafe) from earlier this year from the Shanghai A1 (not the F1) Booze Bus. That, unfortunately is it for this year. Next spring though, the 2008 A1 Booze bus will be departing whenever it does. on April 13th, 2008!

Oh, and Kimi won.

Fun with the English Language

A few days ago (yeah I know the server's been down, thanks, AIT!) I was chatting with a friend on msn who came tearing onto the IM client with questions regarding her USA counterpart's email to her. She & her all-Chinese staff figured out what the rest of the email meant quite easily. It's their job & their company, so generally, English emails are no problem for them, except for this one phrase. After consulting online dictionaries & various translator sites, this friend (who probably doesn't want to be named) finally decided to consult the one person she knows to be the foremost expert on Americans, me. The American.

She popped on msn & told me this dilemma and finally asked me to help her figure out what the phrase at the end of the email meant.

The phrase: "Go Bears!"

Superbowl Party in Shanghai

Yeah yeah, I know. The Bears lost. But still, the party over at Bubba's Texas Barbecue & saloon, (2262 Hong Qiao Lu by the Hongqiao Marriott) was pretty good. The place was absolutely packed, with half the place rabidly cheering on the Bears, and the others saying something about the Colts. They offered up a good breakfast of spare ribs & soft tacos, along with beer, martinis, bloody marys & other drinks (yes, all at 7:30 in the morning!)

KJ, the proprietor of Bubba's also ordered up his own halftime show complete with dancing girls. The girls, however were a bit lacking, and at least the upstairs crowd didn't seem to pay too much attention. But then again, with all the people, they didn't exactly have the room to perform in the first place. Whatever... it was a good time, and KJ did promise that next year's party would be better (suggesting that the downstairs crowd wasn't too into it either.
