For Lili & Will
Lili (London-based) and Will (Shanghai-based) may not know each other, but they surely are closely connected in Shanghai.
This is the scoop of tonight, Shanghai: I go to Big Bamboo to meet Gary Sands, Lili's friend, whom I had never met. We are supposed to go with his friends to some Hunan restaurant tonite. Instead, at the bar, I bump into Jim and Derek - Will's friends I met on my previous trips. They are also waiting for a friend, and will be going for Hunan food. "His name isnt's Gary, is it?" I ask. It is. Gary is running late.
We sit down at the bar with Jim and Derek, chat away, some friendly guy walks up, but I continue talking to Derek. After a good 15 min, I turn to the friendly man and tell him we are still waiting for a friend called Gary. "I am Gary".
Comical.
Hunan food was fantastic, the boys went on to play pool, and I could not resist to tell all about it!
