Ingenuity at its finest...and yes I'm talkign about

both pictures :)

Alright friends and family. What do you get when two American girls go the Shanghai Tennis Masters Series? Heinekin box seats, convenient Heinkekin dispensers, photo with Ivan Ljubicic, and a line up of the current tennis greats...In the two days we attended the series, we got to see Roddick, who withdrew...(figures), Blake, Nadal, Djokovic, Monfils, Del Potro (representing the great country of Argentina even though he withdrew too), and Hewitt ( I forgave him for dumping Clijsters for a gorgeous blonde haired woman after seeing him). We had our fair share of Heineken beer, hitched a ride back to the city
avaoiding a 100 Yuan cab fare on a Hilton bus filled with ATP tour TV crew, and most importantly, experienced the tennis scene in Shanghai, which is catching on, slowly but surely. Ok..bragging a little bit but what can I say, quite an unexpected experience.

This experience has shown me a few things:
1) Shanghai is awesome and things are very easily accesible for westerners, even teachers who generally don't make nearly as much as other westerneres residing here.
2) The suburbs of Shanghai feel like the countryside

3) I need a new camera that will not blur my pictures of Blake serving

SUBSCRIBE to my blog and you will get to see bigger and better pictures of tennis greats :) But if you enjoyed my last post...and hopefully this one as well you should sign up so you can get emails whenever I write a new post. These will surely come about every other week...nothing that will dominate your mailbox, I promise. I don't have that much time..Im too busy meeting the 16th ranked doubles player whose name I cant even remember.
