Lunch.

The highlight of the day saw me giving a very harsh dressing down on the poor bloke who was delivering our lunch. What happened today was that we ordered our lunch from shop A at 11.30, and then after calling them a few times, we got fed up and cancelled our orders – that was about 12.45. Then we called shop B immediately to place our orders, and after calling them a few times to hurry them again, the delivery dude turned up at 2.20. I was already pretty agitated by my inability to do the work that I was doing, and with that bloke coming in so late, my anger had an avenue to vent. Maybe that bloke was unlucky to get such a bad scolding from me, but then again, by coming so late, he probably deserved it. Oh well.

That was the first time that I really shouted at someone in Shanghai. I think I’m picking up the traits of a Shanghainese pretty quickly.
