They say nothing good happens in Shanghai at 2am, but that's not entirely true. I met some people, got lost, talked a bit; and lastly saw a girl taking a pee in front of a convenience store before I found my way back home.

Shanghai ▶︎ 2am



I'm "SnarkyGuy", an American living in Shanghai. I make films about what I see in China often with uncurmudgeon-like commentary, perhaps some travel tips, a little splash of scenery, oodles of opinion, and the occasional "dad" joke.

Occasionally I even know what I'm talking about. It's cool. I am genetically dispossessed with this sense of humor...ask my Dad.

I've been living in Shanghai for the last two years, but by no means am I a stranger to China. Before that I was living in Southern China in Dongguan, "the Dirty D", for about 4 years. Prior to that I literally grew up in Hong Kong, moved there when I was a kid in 1991, and have been traveling around China ever since. I’d call myself a local, but my HongKonger wife would probably disagree.

China can be a bit of a mystery, inside an enigma, playing by it's own set of clichéd rules, and often served with a side of fries while some creepy dude is rubbing your belly and commenting on how fat you are. Just roll with it, it happens (and frequently makes no sense)!

…and yet it does! I do enjoy the challenge of trying to make sense of it all.
