However, if you could grab me a nice handful between now and your trip, I would be most happy. Since I don't believe duck sauce is very expensive, I'm thinking adding an extra $3 to the tip would be sufficient, which I'd figure out a way to cover. I won't be in Shanghai then, but I could arrange to have one of friends stop by the Hilton. A lot of them are coming down here for the ASEAN Expo later that week. Many thanks!
