    My friends at Microsoft say there aren't that many single women out there.

    I love the Shanghai pictures - thank you. I've always liked the Shanghai skyline, it's one of my favorite. I don't think they really did it justice in Mission Impossible III, by the way.


    But here are some pretty good pictures I found on the internet once of one of my favorite cities...

    Surprisingly, San Fran is the best place to get the best girl for your buck, social-wise.

    Women are starving ever since SF became the Vegan/PETA capital of the world.

    Yeah, SF's seafood is underrated. It's almost like charity to teach women the virtues of a meat and protein diet.

    Well, you can call me "poopy" if you'd care to.

    Why do I get the crappiest nicknames...

    I didn't see one dollar theater in any of those other citys. They must be way behind the times.

    I went snowboarding up at Mt. Baker and on the way up there we stayed with a friend in Seattle. When we got there it had rained for 82 straight days -- the weather people would forcast little 10 minute 'sunbreaks' between the fronts. Everyone would blast outside and go jogging take, the dog out, etc.

    When we got back from Mt. Baker it had rained 90 straight days, but the 91st day was the first full day of sunshine and clear blue skies. The city erupted like a it was planned celebration or something -- going out that night was a blast. Being in Seattle on a beautiful sunny day was pretty cool as well ~ everything is so green.

    Shanghai looks absolutely stunning. I would love to see the city with a good guide. I can't read Chinese characters so I'd have a hard time finding my way around. :)

    F'reel yo?

    I just don't know what it is about it. It holds some kind of magnetic force that pulls me toward it. I guess because it's so different from what I'm use to...it rains enough to keep the temperature decently cool, it's right by the water, it's dazzling at night...

    Possibly the reason I have a city crush on Memphis too. That is one beautiful, bad ass city. And I've actually been to that one.

    Shanghai, along with Hong Kong, definitely have one of the best 'skylines' in the entire world, those are some stunning photos.

    I have to make a trip to China one of these days, may be Yao would be kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to show me around his hometown. :)

    I will gladly be your new "Colin Pine", and show you around all the cool area I knew of, as long as you pay for my airplane ticket, hotel, and transportation fee. :D :D

    Looks like I'm in Shanghai again (only for a couple of days). Any suggestions? M on the Bund?
