Things to Avoid in Shanghai

Since lists are so much fun I am also going to make one about things to avoid in Shanghai. In no particular order, here are the winners:

• Sheep's Brains - Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.
  
• Tap Water - Tastes like metal mixed with bacteria. I shouldn't know that.
  
• Unwashed Street Peaches - Do not eat unless you enjoy spending most of your day in the bathroom.
  
• Massage Parlors with a Red Light in the Window - Depending on who you are, this could actually be on your "Things to Do in Shanghai" list.
  
• Chicken Feet - Ok, you should probably try them once, but never again. Try not to get the nails stuck in between your teeth.
  
• Fishbone snacks - Ground up bone in a bag. Not tasty. Need I say more?
  
• Public toilets - For the love of all that is good and holy DO NOT even consider entering one of these fine establishments.

There are a ton more things to add, and of course I will continue to do so!
