What an incredible photo out the window of your hotel in Shanghai!
Enjoying the report! Many thanks for taking the time and making the effort! |
Good start.
On a lighter note, someone in your position must have an iPhone to take a pic of the gate lice ? You also could have asked the Asian man to take the photo ! He would have shot at least ten ? ;) |

Your photo from the hotel room in Shanghai takes me back to our trip last year. it was a Marriott Jr suite. had the same view from the right of your window. A bathtub right in front of my window, just kept looking at the Pearl Tower.

Let me guess, it's your charm that earns you 'all that money' :D I agree. That gate agent probably likes their job and what they do. That should be respected and not by how much money they make. I personally think they should make more. Who cares how much you make and how many miles you have as it doesn't determine your worthiness. Not sure why you have to resort to name calling. You have some great pictures but I had to stop reading as the crass language and name calling to others continued has put me off. Enjoy your travels. |
I was immediately put off by "do you know how much money I make" and the insinuation "I'm chinese and know history, those japanese are silly people"
This guy has the same attitude and language as those "entitled chinese elitists" he mocks. Way to reinforce flyertalk stereotypes. |
Wow, talk about wound up readers :D
There was a disclaimer at the beginning, folks! "There will be sarcastic and douchey humor - it will be written from the perspective of a character, not me." |

But, if you're writing it for your readers, you're distracting a number of readers from a good report with your angle. Even I, who does appreciate "sarcastic and douchey humor" thought some of it was sufficiently over-the-top that it causes the reader to question what parts of the report are real and which are made up. Edgy is great, but there's a continuum, and this report (more so than your others, which I enjoyed) is pushing more towards the Tucker Max end of the continuum (note to readers - don't google Tucker Max @ work). In general, people looking for trip reports aren't looking for Tucker Max. Greg |

So, the question really becomes whether you're writing the report for yourself or your readers.

It's an exercise for the right half of the brain. I will remove my comment on Japanese history since it can be misconstrued. But my bigotted, wealthy, and misinformed alias is staying. The more outlandish my persona the more I protect my anonymity.

I agree completely. Awesome tr, but the demeaning prose is seriously off putting; gate agents are just as "human" as the rest of us.

The comment about earning more in a month than the guy just doing his job in a year is very cringeworthy. The wealthiest people are often the quietest and most understated. Please tone that down and we can enjoy the trip report with all the great photos ^:)
