The generous Andrew Galbraith, who I hadn't even met yet, allowed me to stay in his apartment in the northern part of the city near the Zhongtan Road subway stop. Here's what the area around his apartment complex looked like.
I headed down to the French Concession, which had been my favorite neighborhood when I had visited almost three years earlier. It's such a peaceful place.
That night I met Mandy, my former FOPper, for dinner and drinks in honor of Halloween! We started out at a restaurant in a mall along Nanjing Road, the main shopping thoroughfare of the downtown. Here are the characteristic neon signs.
We started off at a chill bar, all dolled up and put together...
...and went on to a few clubs, and were given angel/devil headpieces. We wound up in a club dancing away on a platform, with a pole, to tunes spun by a person billed as 50 Cent's DJ.
That was Halloween in Shanghai.
