I've recently landed in Shanghai. Twitter and it's 3rd part applications seem not to work here, unless the site is completely down, and considering it has been my main mode of "blogging", the internerd in me has decided to revert back to this bad boy until I can get back on my e-feet.

As far as I can tell, this is a gigantic city, regardless of statistics one can find documented, when you actually take an eyeful of this place, it's enormous. Living in NYC now, very few skylines compare, but Shanghai surely does. I'm not even going to look up numbers, but knowing how huge the population in China is, this might be a larger city than all 5 boroughs combined.

The weather is toasty, reminds me of summers in Japan, extremely hot and humid. My internal clock is murdered. I slept a lot on the flight, and was hoping to catch an extra hour in my hotel room, but that isn't going to happen. The plan for today, aside from my personal regimen, is to explore. I plan on going to a dumpling house for lunch, as dumplings might be on the top of my list of favorite things to eat, and China might be the best place to consume them.

I'm very excited to be here. China has been on my list of places to visit for a long time. The government is allowing Fall Out Boy to make a TV performance/appearance, play a live show, and release our record(s) here. If you aren't aware, it's kind of a gigantic deal, so we had to take the opportunity. Aside from that, I'm just really glad to be here. It's revitalizing in a way, to go somewhere completely new that you've wanted to visit your whole life.

It's nice to have more than 140 characters to work with, but don't expect this to be a reverting to the "old" days. Once I can tweet again, tweet I will.
