Successful Beer Bartering
satellite dish = beer
Thanks to Dan of Shanghaiist who spread word of my “satellite TV for beer” deal, yesterday I successfully traded a satellite dish with box for 4 cases (96 bottles) of Sol beer. Lenny and John B can verify that the Sol is much tastier than the satellite dish could ever be. Thanks also to Peter for his generous bid.
I’m leaving for the States tomorrow for a two week visit. Will there be any beer left when I get back? Hmmm…
This visit home is a first in a way because of the awesome deal I got on my plane ticket. It’s the first time I have paid less than 8000 rmb for a round-trip plane ticket to Tampa–I only paid 5600 rmb! It’s also the first time I’ll have less than two connecting flights. This is the simplest (best) route I’ve ever taken: Shanghai – Chicago – Tampa. The American Airlines direct flight from Shanghai to Chicago just started.
Anyway, if posts are light, it’s because I’m busy trying to gain 10 pounds in 2 weeks.
Sol isn’t beer!
Whatever it is, I like it.
Uhhh…why gain 10 lbs. may I ask? Trying to claim a belt in a new weight class?
Wow! Kudos on finding such a cheap and direct flight. Have a great time with the Fam.
Where did you buy the tickets?
Jeff,
Because it’s there.
Carl,
Thanks!
Mark,
Ordered them directly through the American Airlines Shanghai office. It was a special offer because they just opened the new route. The offer doesn’t extend past April departures.
