My Funny Valentine's Day

Yep, it was a strange one.

Out with Jenny "let's-pretend-we're-Valentines" Zhao, I thought it'd be a good idea to take a look at the photographic exhibition at the Liu Hai Su art centre down in Hongqiao.

Having no idea what to expect, we were confronted with images of naked pregnant women in black-and-white, photos of household objects and model landscapes dressed in raw meat and finally, wooden peephole boxes containing cute Chinese-style porcelain dolls doing it.

We fared little better in the cinema. Jenny was keen to view Baober in Love, which she said is the film everyone's talking about. The poster depicted a happy smiley young couple hand in hand, though with outstretched arms. "Looks OK," I thought, agreeing to sit through two hours of un-subtitled Chinese cinema.

The story began promisingly enough as we met the eponymous heroine, an odd and flighty girl who regularly flicked her eyes and head in all directions to show she was a bit different, a bit crazy. There followed some surreal Poppins-esque sequences, such as the hovering dinner set and the nookie among silver cushions in a construction site rubbish chute.

Turned out, however, that Barbour was actually deeply disturbed and ended up disembowelling herself. Not very Valentine's.

Waiting 90 minutes for red-hot spicy Szechuan dinner, plus further loitering around trying to get trains and taxis meant that I didn't get back to campus until around 11.00.

There, on the edge of the basketball court was a forlorn-looking Japanese girl with designer togs and a suitcase the size of a karaoke machine. "Help," she said. I could hardly leave her, so full English gentleman act swiftly followed.

Poor lamb had just got of the flight from Tokyo with less Chinese than even I expecting to be met by the university staff. No sign of them. I turfed Jenny out of bed at 11.30 begging for translation assistance, and eventually Saori was found a room, provided with food and water (by me) and packed off to sleep at 12.40am.

It wasn't half a funny Valentine's day.
