Shanghai was one of the first to experience the eclipse. It was very cloudy so we didn’t get the armedaddon shot of the moon/sun but it did get crazy dark, really fast. This is the view at 9.25a

What you’d expect. Beautiful government building, a little rude, massive amount of people crowded into pockets of space… Lots of yelling. Hopefully they’ll let me in!!

At a small art exhibition in shanghai and we came across this masterpiece of copyright infrindgement (I mean art). If you look closely you can see logos from Chanel, the LV star, puma, lining (Chinese brand) and of course the swoosh. I’m sure their are more. Can you spot others???

I got caught in an argument with narita (Tokyo) airport security over 2 bottles of wine. I purchased two bottles in the Portland airport (after security) but forgot that since I now have to connect to get home (shanghai) no liquids are allowed!!! Totally sucks. I tried negotiating with them for 15 minutes to no avail and I was so annoyed that they were going to drink these themselves – I had them pour the wine out in front of me. So annoying – but they were clearly right and I was stupid. Not next time!!

Classic 5 Guys Burgers and Fries with AK for lunch. My 1 spoiled/bad meal on this trip.

Just before 1am, chapelle showed up to the crowds in downtown Portland. He underestimated his fans or overestimated the power of his speakers – audio was horrible – great idea, bad execution. Hard to see but he’s that blurry guy hanging out from under the tent!

12.30am at portland’s pioneer place – 5k people waiting for rumored dave chapelle appearance.

Dave Chapelle at the heathmam hotel posing with two fans. He’s really doing a show!!
