Fleet Week, Shanghai-style
The U.S. Coast Guard cutter 'Rush' docks in Shanghai. Hide your light beer
The USCGC 'Rush' is the same ship that docked in Qingdao in June 2006.
The American tradition of Fleet Week came to Shanghai this week when the U.S. Coast Guard cutter 'Rush' docked on November 1 for a six-day visit. Fleet Week -- in which U.S. Navy vessels pull into port cities and disgorge tons of happy sailors -- is such a renowed institution in the United States that it's got its own Sex and the City episode.
Where might we see some of American’s finest celebrating a week of land-based freedom? If you see a man in uniform, buy him a drink and steer he and his buddies away from Tongren Lu.

US Coasties, I tip my glass to you!
Have fun in Shanghai and don't do anything I wouldn't do... on second thought, don't do anything I would either! :)
