Sherpa

My freshman year of college I had friends that found my obsession with food delivery odd.  Where I grew up there is no delivery.  All I wanted to do was order Papa Johns or Chinese food and enjoy a night in.  Shanghai is a dream come true to me in food delivery.  While preparing to come here, reading the guide books I would see different restaurants that said they delivered and I was unsure how I was going to be able to order over the phone with my lack of Mandarin skills.

When we arrived the answer to my hunger pains came in the form of little Chinese men wearing bright orange uniforms.  You see, I call this company (Sherpa's) and place an order (in English) off a menu from all sorts of different restaurants. Next the people from Sherpa's call the restaurant, order for you and then send Sherpa driver to pick it up for me and brings it to my home. Ahhh.  I love you Sherpa. You can even order online, or tell them you want it delivered at a specific time. All that convenience for only 15 kuai.

Luckily I have Matt and my new friend Adriana to insist that Sherpa can only come so many days of the week before I need to venture out and go to an actual restaurant.  They must not understand my walking rage.
