"Where the hell have you been?"

Posted By Blackfive

Got an email over the last two weeks asking that question. I'll have more later today, including a post about the Ft. Bragg barracks scandal.

In my defense, I did leave you all a note saying I'd be out of contact for awhile.  Here is where I was:

Photo by TJ.  I'm at the mid-point on the Great Wall of China (Badaling section).  I am tired of being harassed by vendors who all claim "Best Price!" and whip out their calculators like I care about their wares and try to charge me $150 for a $1.50 watch.  This is the "Don't @#$% with me" look that drove most of them away.  Also, note the smog.

Photo by TJ.  I was presenting a recommendation for the Shanghai Futures Exchange last Friday.  I am pointing at the club at the Shangri-La across the street...it's where I was headed after work.

More photos later...

Interesting, what do you do now, is this your study/job?

Here is where I was:

When I looked at the first picture and it was the only thing I had seen of your post up to that point, I immediately thought "Matt's at the Great Wall of China".

Then I thought to myself "that picture only shows a high elevation, it doesn't show any great concentration of Asians nor does it show the stonework of the great wall that I have seen. And I didn't see the kid until later. So Matt can't be at the Great Wall of China, that was just high handed speculation."

It was the color and the architectural roof that probably sparked the insight.

Looks like an interesting trip Matt.

Of course if you want one of those "Rolex" watches, you can get one on any NY street corner for Five bucks. "Rolex, Rolex, Rolex" LOL

Have a great trip!

What is with all the traveling lately... everyone I know (except me) is heading off to other places. LOL.

I hope you got some great pictures - even with the smog.

Ask Matt about his first night at Rendevouz in Shanghai...Or holding turtle races at the KTV club.
