Ian Perkins, late of this parish, writes from his new home at W+K Shanghai:

Dear London, 

As I can't access many western blogs in china I won't be
reading this post.

I thought I would just send a brief update
from the Shanghai office.

Some facts:

Snow has just overtaken Bud Light as the
world's best selling beer.

SnowBeer-WSJ

China Supergirl was the most-viewed TV
program in the history of TV ever.

Snow tastes nice, Supergirl is like
American Idol (not Supergirl).

 

Some pictures:

 

First, from the amazing mask-changers of Chengdu – all I could think of was Hulk Hogan. I feel the amazingess of China
is lost on me sometimes!

Secondly, me putting “a donq on it”. Pic taken by Dom.

Thirdly, a bike covered in polystyrene – not
for protection but for recycling. Also by Dom.

Fourthly a shot, by Nick Duam, of Happy Valley with China's biggest and newest wooden roller coaster behind. Which was
great to ride.

All in all it's still a very interesting and
different experience.

 

Zaijian. ('Goodbye], as you may guess, as it's
at the end.)

Ian.
