China
Well, I originally posted about this great Shanghai 5 video back in 2010. Last Fall, my Mom mentioned that she wants to take a trip to China before she gets too old. Fast forward to now... we're booked to go in September! Super psyched. If any readers have any suggestions or tips, let me know. I'm trying to figure out where the good vegetarian restaurants are. I actually found a bunch of google maps containing vegetarian restaurants in Beijing and Shanghai as well as Shanghai skate spots.
I'm up in the air about whether I'm gonna skate when I'm there. Every other time I've gone on a family vacation that wasn't a skate trip and I brought my board, I skated maybe once and that was while waiting for laundry in Paris. I'm definitely not bringing my board with me but I may pack my trucks and wheels, which are compact enough, in case I feel like skating and I can buy a board at the local shop. The Love Park spot is right around the corner from my hotel, which makes it more tempting.

You gotta roll around if you can. When are you ever going to get to skate in Asia again? I bet with all the pros around filming video parts it's just like the EMB days when you could buy a deck from Kelch for dirt cheap.
just saw this, hope you brought your board. Went to Shanghai in 2010 and had an absolute blast. There was the SMP skatepark which is huge;

There was also a plaza that was great for skating but I don't remember where it is... just ask around, go to a skate shop. They're very friendly. As for the vegetarian thing..good luck! I was when I went but had to go back to eating meat because I couldn't figure out how to ask for things without it, and they don't get it.
Just got back a few day ago. Did not bring my board and glad I made that decision. Didn't really have any down time when I could have skated.
More detailed post to come...
