A few weeks ago, the July/August edition sports ticket agencies of Budget Travel magazine sports ticket agencies hit newsstands across America and, I m assuming, some other countries, as well. Page 66 featured a full page, color photo of a 32-year-old American sometime-journalist/ marginally-informative -blogger/ handbag-entrepreneur . A random reader emailed the guy in the photo and said the pic struck me as nice and told him don t ever stop smiling! Meanwhile, an immediate family member told the guy his smile made him look beaver like. Well, you can t win them all.
So anyway, I have an eight-page story in the current issue of Budget Travel . And yes, there is a full-page portrait of me (shot by a New York Times photographer , I might add). And yes, the title of the story is My Shanghai Is Better Than Yours. Both the photo and the title were the magazine s idea I m sure your Shanghai is just fine.
The story is split up into three parts Eat, Shop and Play and I suggest 15 or so places/activities in each one. It was a little tricky. I had to keep in mind that my readers, and anyone who would actually end up putting my advice to use, would likely be be new to Shanghai and their Chinese would be limited or nonexistent. I also had a word count to stay under. As is my habit, I failed miserably in that task, thus the version that appeared in the magazine was a little less detailed than the one I turned in but that is my fault. I may post the extended version here sometime after August.
