As the kitchen roll of doom meets the snotty nose of eternity, it’s time for another Snapshot Saturday – a story with pictures and occasional\u00a0words.<\/p>\n

Today we return to the People’s Republic of China.<\/p>\n

And to Shanghai.<\/p>\n

First of all, let’s refresh our memories. Where exactly is Shanghai?<\/p>\n

\"Shanghai

Now let’s take a first look out of the hotel window:<\/p>\n

\"Shanghai

A second view from the hotel room:<\/p>\n

And a third:<\/p>\n

That’s sort of the same view out of the hotel room as the first view.<\/p>\n

Except for the bottle of Ribena.<\/p>\n

Which shouldn’t be there.<\/p>\n

Because you can’t buy Ribena in Shanghai.<\/p>\n

You can, however, buy Ribena in Sainsbury’s in Keyworth.<\/p>\n

And you can put it in your rucksack.<\/p>\n

And forget about it for a week.<\/p>\n

Or two.<\/p>\n

And then get processed through airport security at Birmingham International.<\/p>\n

And then get processed through airport security on transfer in Dubai.<\/p>\n

And then, when you’re in your hotel\u00a0room in Shanghai, you could find the Ribena nestling in the bottom of your twice-airport-scanned rucksack.<\/p>\n

Well that’s comforting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
