Qǐng gěi wǒ yī bēi píjiǔ - It's pronounced kind of like "ching gay wah ebay pee jew," with some tone changes here and there, I think. :-) I figure that's a good start to my Chinese learning...
Also, in preparation for my trip, I recently found out who my two roommates are: Michelle and Chris. Michelle is a girl from Malibu, California, doing a journalism internship with Time Out Magazine, and Chris is a guy from Jacksonville, Florida, doing market research for a company called Kakatong. We're living in a 3 bedroom apartment in Xu Hui district. The building is very tall (not unlike many in Shanghai) and we're on the 16th floor. Pictures will come sometime soon I'm sure.
I just accumulated some Shanghai traveler's books that I'm reading. I hate to be the dork who reads the tourism books, but you have to start somewhere I guess!
