Today we visited The Shanghai Museum which is supposedly one of the finest in the country, they say that history favours the victor and it is certainly true here, in all the exhibits about Emperor Ming Flash Gordon doesn't get mentioned once. On the whole I found it a little boring, hence the lamentable Flash Gordon line – when the highlight of your day is seeing some punter drop his recently purchased cream cake you know it is bad day – although that was very funny. The Modern Art Museum was much better but I won't bore you further.
In the evening we ate from the street stalls that rats do their best to avoid, Ciara got an egg pancake thing and I got fish balls – which is hardly surprising the amount I have been walking.
N.B. The next time anyone is approached in a London pub by a shady Chinese bloke with the infamous words 'DVD, DVD' and wanting £10 for 3 DVDs tell him that you have a mate in Shanghai who can get 5 for £1 and to behave himself.
