Mic check one two one two... We’re back on air, your weekly reports or Shanghai are back
locked in, we are loaded, we are ready to go off. Shout out goes to everybody
who still chooses to waste time on reading this – for
real for real!
Same as last year, I’m gonna
start with bunch of thank yous and shout outs. So in no particular order. My family
and their partners – I’m super happy all of you are doing well and it’s just amazing watching everyone on
the right track with everything. More great things are about to come real soon.
YLP – I see you bro. Bit more
music (we still got this), shitton of beers and whiskey, boxing... Ain’t a thang changed. My crew in the Czech
Republic. What can I say... We are still tight as can be... Every fucking thing
we did over the summer... It was like back in the days... The vibe is still
beautiful... Sweden! I got you! We gotta have the same mental blueprint... Everyone over there a
hoe... Monte Negro! God damn, that was just great. All the travels, all the
long ass evenings, crazy ass car rides... There’s gonna
be volume 2! My tattoo guys... Thanks for fucking up my career options a bit
more! I love you for that. The artworks are dope as fuck! And everyone else I had a chance to catch up with over those two months. All the little trips we made, everyone I met briefly...
Not a single day of not knowing what to do... ONE!
Aight, so let me resume the Shanghai story. Last Friday, I
did one last run in Brno, packed my shit and in the afternoon hit my dad’s favorite pub to meet with the fam for
the last time. Got some last Czech beers, hopped on a train and went to Vienna
airport. I arrived to Shanghai Saturday evening and went to my Lithuanian
friends’ place. They are hosting me
for couple of days before I figure out a new spot on my own. We got some
drinks, grabbed little something to eat and talked till early morning. Next day I had to go to my uni to do registration for the
new semester. I also picked my bike in the basement parking area at my old place, went to the peanut noodle place to remind myself of one of the best
meals around here, and also got a haircut at my favorite Chinese lady. In the
afternoon, we all went to Xiangyang park to play some Petangue. Now, it might
seem pretty regular but the truth is, I have not ever seen anybody playing that
game ever around here. And we soon found out that it might not be as easy it as
it seems. In most Shanghainese parks, they don’t allow people to step on grass, and since there’s security everywhere, it’s a big no can do. We tried Jing’an park as well but got kicked out in
like 3 minutes again. Finally, we found this small secluded grass area just
around the corner and managed to play for like 3 hours. Chinese were passing by
here and there, totally mesmerized by what the fuck are we playing. I got one
Chinese granpa throw a ball too tho... We followed up with a dinner at Jen Dow and
wrapped the whole thing up in Zhongshan park.
So yeah, new week has started, I’m getting used to my Chinese life once more... And I’ll be back on my Shanghai Czech-in
shit from now on. And before I close it up, let me just give it up for Maroš. Our family dog who was around ever
since I was 14 and made it up to amazing 17 years. He left us last week but
damn... His spirit won’t go
anywhere. I hope you’re good
up there and I’m gonna walk you again at
some point, I promise! Love you lil’ bro!
I don’t
really feel like doing highlights this time around, since like 60% of the
chapter are just those. Gonna get back to that next week. Peace!
