This is my journal, as I traveled around the world on a working freighter. My 4 month journey began in Houston, Texas on October 16th, 2008 and ended exactly where it started, on February 21st, 2009. Because I did not have internet access, special thanks to Dave and Laura, who cleaned up what I beamed in by satellite.

Day 87 Shanghai
Saturday, sunny, clear, and cold. I am glad to have my ski gloves. After breakfast, I take a taxi further west on Nanjing Road to a mall and shopping area. I take a picture of the Prada store for my daughter-in-law. I think that makes 3 locations now. There are not many shoppers in the upscale retail stores, neither foreigners nor locals. There is a Gold's Gym nearby. I stop for a McCoffee. As I am walking back to the hotel, I see a Subway sandwich shop. I see no customers in the Porsche and other high-end auto stores.
