I don't have high hopes, but the good news is that I can walk home from there whenever I please (getting taxis on NYE is always a serious PITA).

While not nearly as special as old Crocus, I have to say that new Crocus isn't half bad (friendly staff, surprisingly good food, and reasonable prices).

I will be having dinner with my new housemate and Spanish CouchSurfer tonight (Chinese New Year Eve), not sure where yet, will probably be wandering out of our apartment and seeing what's still open and looking good. Let me know if you wanna join us. I fly back from NRT in the afternoon.

-definitely worth doing
-free before 1p; password is "mvp"
-Mandarin City is cooler (less beautiful people, and you need to pay Y100 to get in, but it's just more fun... plus, the food/drinks are a lot cheaper)
In any event, the plan for the rest of the summer is Mandarin City on Saturdays and the Pudong Shangri-La on Sundays.

Looks great. I am planning on spending Sun eve 8/30 in Shanghai before my flight out the next morning to HKG. Unfortunately, won't be pulling in until after 8pm (work, work, work.) Staying at the IC Expo (haven't tried that one yet.) My flight to HKG isn't too early, so could meet up somewhere.

How is Mandarin(e) City overall? I may look at moving over there and walked through the complex over the weekend.
