Eric Clapton - Shanghai

Who is the most popular artist amongst the following:

- David Copperfield
- Air Supply
- Eric Clapton
- Deep Purple

Judging from the crowd which turned up yesterday at Grand Theater, in the misty rain, Eric Clapton sure has a star rating amongst the Shanghainse. The Grand Theater was full of expats who swayed to prodigal guitaring of the trio on stage ( Eric Clapton, Doyle Brahma - Guitar II, Derek Trucks). Unfortunately EC did not play 2 of their most popular songs - Cocaine & Layla.

Finally, Toys r Us makes its debut in Shanghai. Located in Super brand Mall (Chanda guanghang) in Pudond, the store has toys which have chinese instructions to go with. Thus, the range is somewhat limited. However, from the crowd thronging there, i wont be surprised if they open another one within the year in Puxi.

New Years Eve

Its been a long time since the last blog. Shall try to be more frequent with weblogs in 2007. The new Years Bukhara party rocked... what with black and silver sashays and p'pino maids doing the rounds. Though , the wings came out after the clock struck 12. 70 -80 odd gatherings tapped to DJ Bosco's music. Happy New Year to all.. May this year be prosperous and Peaceful for all on earth!
