Shanghai to Michigan and back

In the last week or so, my brother got married, I flew home and back on two 13-hour epic journeys, had a mini-journey with Paul to high school Friday night lights and discovered some Shanghai joy.  Namely, in the shape of a handmade boot shop that houses the handmade boot man who is going to replace a beloved, but crappy, pair of boots from New Look with a pair of genuine dead cow leather ones.  I don't claim to be congruent in my vegetarianism.  

Now that I'm on the other side of jet lag, I’ve slept a lot this weekend and am backdating my blog posts from my half term travels.  Check out: Chengdu, Pandas, Xi’an.  More to come.  Look back!
