Arabica Roasters' General Manager Stuart Eunson and I had the pleasure of dropping by BOCADO last Friday, narrowly avoiding the massive rainstorm that rocked Shanghai for several hours and turned streets into canals throughout the city. From the second floor, we stayed dry and watched as cars and bicycles alike left waves in their wake along the sidewalk.
