    Very nice. Really like the garden. Reminds me of Japanese Garden in Ft. Worth.

    Were you Shanghaied or go willingly? Did you tell the locals that Hunter Biden said "High"?

    Shanghai is a western city founded in China. Shanghai was a city-state until 1945.

    :arrow-up: What’s the dish, some kind of dumplings?
    It looks spicy.

    If I didn't know better I would have said that was St. Patrick's.
    Must be an incredible city of contrasts.

    Great pictures! @mchammer

    Is there any feeling or sense of Covid still in China? I spent almost a month in China 15 years ago. Bubba's Texas BBQ in Shanghai was great. It was in the expat district and as soon as you walked through the doors you felt like you were in a BBQ shack in the Hill Country. The guy imported all his beef from US.

    No more covid nonsense. The Chinese have gotten over it.

    I’ve been to Bubba’s back in 2011. It was the one on Hongqiao Road. That location appears closed, but I saw that the one on the river is still open.
