Shanghai FCC out in full force

Members and would-be members of the Shanghai Foreign Correspondents Club (SFCC) gathered this evening at the Foreign Culture Club at Julu Lu (now, do not mix up those two). It was a bit of a bummer that the staff could not be convinced of the concept of a happy hour, but otherwise it was rather pleasant company.
Two fellow bloggers, Maria Trombly of course, and Chris from Asiapundit, who I had not seen for a very long time.
To my own amazement another five, six people (hello there!) voluntarily admitted to be readers of this weblog, so perhaps the digital divide is narrowing. Of course, the normal bunch of ignorant dinosaurs was also represented.
Asiapundit came, a bit reluctant, with a disclosure I had not yet seen on his weblog. Of course we all knew that his lovely baby was taking up much time and energy, but he showed this evening also his new business card. He became "public affairs manager" of HSBC. That happens when good journalists get babies: they need to make money. Fortunately, he has a nice boss, Dan Dan. I have never been seeing much in bosses, but Dan Dan would be ok.
