I thought got stared at alot...
I was wrong. Walking around with K-Flan is interesting...
The locals look at him with a mixture of suprise and fear. Or maybe it's the combination of the both of us...
Hiw wardrobe doesn't help. He must have a never-ending supply of bootcut jeans and black t-shirts, most of which have a Kiss or other heavy metal band name on 'em.
Add the enginneer boots with the 3 inch heels, the long hair... Well...
They just look at him and marvel.

in front of his native environment...
Even though we were 24 hours late into Shanghai, we were able to get alot of our installations done on Tuesday. Both video walls went up without problelms and by late Tuesday PM we were up and on-line...
Chairside wall- the old Lighthouse 6mm product
Cameraside wall- the Chinese wall.
This is the signal cable for the cameraside wall...Commonly referred to as a "widowmaker".
Touch the wrong pair of these bare wires and you will remember it for a long time.
It took several more days to finish the details of building the walls, but in the end it was all good.
A lot of care went into the design of the buffer walls-the walls built to keep the crowd from knocking over the video cubes\\\ when they rush the court for autographs.
More on that later I'm sure...
We were able to get out and about a bit...
During our travels to PuDong we saw the big TV tower...
Over in PuDong there is a new Hooters Restaurant.
(Two of them here in Shanghai now... I'm liking this place more and more!)
Mmmmm... Chinese wings.
We did a little drinking at a joint down on the HuangPu River across from the Bund. The had decent beer, if you're into that kind of thing, and a live band...
The disturbing part was when they played the Macarena and all the *guys* got up to dance... Only the guys. Appalling. Simply appalling. And frightening.
Ewwww!, Macarena!
And the 'Neck made the sojourn to the JinMao tower...88 scary stories high.
I don't like being this high off the ground without an airplane around me...
More fun stuff to report as the Tournament gets underway...
TBG out...
