     Hello, Shanghai!  In front of the Shanhai skyline with Yangtze River behind.

    Gorgeous Oriental Pearl Tower on the Shanghai skyline

    Parents and I ate at one of Shanghai’s #1 restaurants and had the signature dish: Eel braised and slow cooked with soy sauce and ginger.   Yummy!

    MGM to China to WPT! MGM’s Andrew Steele, Head of “MGM Diaoyutai” Yaning Liu, me, and President of WPT Adam Pliska.

    The MGM Grand Sanya had this waiting in my room: it’s made entirely of pure chocolate! I promptly ate the Jack of Spades.
