Going

Where are we going? "chang something or ching something" came the
reply. Not inspiring words when trying to find a specific shop in
shanghai. In fact, we were never going to find this place. The girls
at Starbucks change their English names daily, with a refrain of Chin
and Chang between names like Winter, Coke, Double, and the respectable
Mabel and Nigel. The attendants at the Hotel, entrusted with
collecting our laundry and delivering fresh clothes do not understand
the English words Today Tomorrow Yesterday Toilet Paper and Laundry.

UPDATE: moments after deadline for the above we were served a coffee by a young lady named Papa.
